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
I'm concerned what this NYU Bookstore will mean for Shakespeare & Co. just down the road
ReplyDeleteFor the record, let’s not forget Unique Clothing Warehouse that used to fill that whole space the WIZ eventually took over. For you young folks, imagine Beacon’s Closet in the 1980s but waaay bigger.
ReplyDeleteI'd worry about Shakespeare & Co. surviving simply because that whole strip of Broadway is just dorm-rat city. Not erudite Village students of the past.
I loved Unique Clothing Warehouse!!!Nice memory..got my Annie Hall clothes there-
ReplyDeleteEveryone, but everyone wore those Picasso sailor tops of theirs back then.
