Evan Birnholz's guide to the Post magazine's December crosswords

Hi! I'm Evan, and I'm the new crossword writer for the Washington Post. This blog will recap the Sunday Magazine crossword each week, with answer grids, explanations about the themes, and background about how I put the puzzles together. In addition, this will be an opportunity for solvers to provide feedback: what you liked, what you didn't like, which clues tortured you the most.
