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
Carnegie Hall must be so proud of themselves for kicking out that 98 year old woman.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Curbed comments are just what one would expect, referring to a 98 year old woman as a leech, and screaming for the end of any protection for renters.
ReplyDeleteThat Jewish subway map is lame... No Jews in Queens or the Bronx??? Forest Hills/Rego Park/Kew Garden Hills? Riverdale? Washington Heights? I must be hallucinating all of those synagogues that I've lived around all these years...
