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
THE ENTIRE LANDMARKS COMMISSION IS ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PROTECTING THE INTEGRITY OF OUR FAIR CITY. I DEMAND AN INVESTIGATIION INTO THE OVERT CORRUPTION THAT HAPPENS THERE. I WANT TO KNOW HOW THEY GOT AWAY WITH DEMO’ING THE BUILDING IN COOPER SQUARE. THIS IS F*CKING BULLSH*T. THE ENTIRE VILLAGE WILL BECOME A SOULESS SEA OF GLASS AND STEEL IF WE DON’T DO SOMETHING NOW!!! I AM FED UP WITH THE BLOOMBERG/DEVELOPER INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX DEVOURING UP CENTURIES OF HISTORY IN THEIR MERCILESS HUNT FOR ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT SMELLS LIKE MONEY!~
