What: This profile of Megan Amram, the Comedy Hero We Need Now, is ostensibly tied to her Emmy campaign for the aptly named An Emmy for Megan, but it is both broader and deeper than that.
The article nods to a laundry list of Amram's creative accomplishments, from show writer to Twitter maven to New Yorker writer to web series auteur, and it also backtracks to her education (Harvard) and upbringing (her twin brother was the class clown).
Representative quote: "The enthusiasm is sometimes laced with menace, as though its purveyor is mere seconds from a breakdown. Her toothy smile is too wide, almost face-splitting. Her attitude is light, but her humor is black."
How to get it: "Please Consider Megan Amram (For Something)" was published in FLOOD magazine on July 10.
Connections to previous Wreckage: Amram's work has shown up in Rec. #401, Rec. #427, and Rec. #445.
