a.k.a. The Book of Lamentations:
a bitterly nostalgic look at a city in the process of going extinct
- Jeremiah Moss
- THE BOOK:
"We should all buy Jeremiah Moss’s book, Vanishing New York." --Sarah Jessica Parker
“Essential reading for fans of Jane Jacobs, Joseph Mitchell, Patti Smith, Luc Sante, and cheap pierogi.” --Vanity Fair
"a vigorous, righteously indignant book that would do Jane Jacobs proud." --Kirkus Reviews
THE BLOG:
"the go-to hub for those who lament New York's loss of character." --Crain's
"No one takes stock of New York's changes with the same mixture of snark, sorrow, poeticism, and lyric wit as Jeremiah Moss." --Village Voice, Best of NY
“Jeremiah Moss…is the defender of all the undistinguished hunks of masonry that lend the streets their rhythm.” --Justin Davidson, New York Magazine
"One of the most thorough and pugnacious chroniclers of New York’s blandification." --The Atlantic, Citylab
"Hyperbolic and combative, tireless and passionate." --Salon
In addition to Paul Auster, I also like his daughter, Sophie.
ReplyDeleteI have one of those dual-flush toilets in my apartment. Very middle-of-the-road in terms of price. Main reason that we got it is the bathroom is funny and odd-shaped with a corner cut off for vertical piping and the rough-in is non-standard, and it was the only model I could reliably tell would fit in the space before I ordered it. In all, entirely caused by normal urban construction constraints in a (I guarantee) completely non-Vongerichtified NYC construction setting.
ReplyDeleteyeah those dual flush toilets are schweet. and think of the flush button customizing possibilities!
ReplyDeletedual flush--please explain.....
