His best Stories
A selection of published and featured essays spanning personal narrative, health journalism, and reflective nonfiction.Personal Essay
The Unkindness Pact
A candid reckoning with the quiet agreements we make to be cruel — to ourselves, to the people we love, and to the strangers we pass without a second thought. Wallace traces the origins of his own unkindness back through memory and habit, arriving at a question most of us avoid: what does it cost us to finally stop? Honest, uncomfortable, and quietly devastating.
Narrative Nonfiction
The Clap at Sea
Set against the open water, this piece uses a single vivid moment — a sound, a gesture, a collective beat of human recognition — to explore what it means to be seen in a crowd of strangers. Wallace’s eye for sensory detail transforms an ordinary scene into a meditation on loneliness, connection, and the strange grace of being present. One of his most cinematic essays.https://medium.com/health-science/the-clap-at-sea-how-18th-century-pirates-treated-vd-bb8f37baf29b
Health & Personal Essay
Manuka Honey and Cancer
When someone Wallace loved was diagnosed, he found himself deep in the world of alternative remedies — specifically the near-mythic claims surrounding Manuka honey. What began as research became something more personal: a confrontation with hope, desperation, and the stories we tell ourselves when medicine runs out of answers. Reported with care and written with heart
Personal Essay
There But for the Grace of God
A meditation on proximity to catastrophe — the near-misses, the close calls, and the invisible margins that separate one life from another. Wallace writes with the kind of earned humility that only comes from having stood close enough to disaster to feel its heat. A reflection on gratitude that refuses to be sentimental.
Personal Essay · Memoir
My Shyness in High School Led to One of My Greatest Regrets
A personal excavation of the years Wallace spent on the edges of his own life — watching, waiting, too afraid to step in. He revisits a specific missed opportunity shaped by shyness, tracing how one act of silence echoed further than he ever expected. Generous, self-aware, and deeply relatable for anyone who has ever held back when it mattered.https://medium.com/the-memoirist/my-shyness-in-high-school-led-to-one-of-my-greatest-regrets-99f953a6a3e0?sharedUserId=lawsonwallace
