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
Be safe and sane this holiday season. people are getting more rabid than before out thar!
ReplyDeleteHave a great holiday, Jeremiah!
ReplyDeleteYou know what else is Vanishing?
ReplyDeleteChristmas.
Can no one say "Merry Christmas" anymore?
Will it cause the tongue to fall off if we pronounce it?
Will the non-believers (of which I am one) be that offended and harmed?
Will saying the word cause a drop in the commercial madness of the season?
You know what's a "holiday"? Memorial Day is a holiday.
July 4th is a holiday.
Columbus Day is a holiday.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
