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
So, wait. It's an edible thong? Or just a thong with frosting? (Uh, so to speak...sorry.)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, didn't edible underwear go out of style in like 1975?
Vaginas: Not so much infantile, but definitely cute enough to bite.
ReplyDeletebrilliant and THANK YOU! although I guess it could be an improvement over vaginas having teeth. Which then begs the question: does that make it a dog eat dog world or some variation of that?
ReplyDeleteThe Lou Reed event is already sold out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, JM. The series is cool but I'm really looking fwd to the book as well. The images section of the project's home site should be right up your alley. Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteThe Wired store comes complete with a Camaro AND plumber's crack!
ReplyDeleteNew York City, particularly the East Village and Lower East side, is a giant wave of California immigrants.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is from California. They hate New Yorkers, they LOATHE New Yorkers.
Because they know we are the real deal. They want other skateboard riding, valley accented people around. They don't like the natives, and the natives don't like them either.
So watch out, you California Pricks.
