a.k.a. The Book of Lamentations:
a bitterly nostalgic look at a city in the process of going extinct
- Jeremiah Moss

"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

ReplyDeleteexactly! some potential marketing copy:
ReplyDelete"What makes our Bowery-style pizza so special? Each of our artisanally crafted slices has been aged to perfection, after a rigorous process of spending the night face-side-down on the sidewalk of the Bowery itself.
This attention to detail means you'll taste a melange of hyperlocal flavors--urine and vomit, both 30 proof, infused with alcohols ranging from the gritty (Thunderbird) to the luxurious (Armand de Brignac). That's the Bowery Style."
Ha! I walked by last night and your description was all I could think of...gak!
ReplyDeleteThat's what we used to call a puddle of vomit deposited on the sidewalk outside CB's, back in the late Seventies. I need to sue this bum for copyright infringement.
