Coffee/soup/kitchen dance parties. Chickens sometimes. WNC. Listening.
I don’t think I realized when you began. I left NYC (and the East Village) in 2006 and am pretty sure I found your site just a year or two later. I loved (and love) connecting to and missing my former home through your posts.

Would also love to go to the March house (I don’t know if mean the real Orchard House or just the one from the book), the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store, and E.L. Konigsburg’s version of the Met (where I can climb into beds and fountains and be there in the middle of the night).

I keep thinking about that party. I have an oddly clear vision of sitting on the floor in her walk-in closet, holding the mass market paperback in my hand, feeling the raised letters of the title, listening to her tell me why I should read it. She was a year or two older than me and seemed very

My mom’s colleague’s daughter gave me her copy of Thornyhold at a pool party when I was like 14. I remember loving it but haven’t reread it and haven’t read anything else by her!

I would also love to see so much of the Florida Lily Brooks-Dalton writes about in The Light Pirate. Certainly times are devastating and dangerous and so so lonely in this book. It’s also so visually rich. I want to see the mangrove swamps and the scene with the manatee and even the submerged towns.

I’d like to see Brooklyn as Jacqueline Woodson saw it when she moved there as a young child circa 1970.

Francie Nolan’s, of course. And I’d pop into Patti Smith’s Chelsea Hotel, maybe sneak a look at Dalí over the top of my book. I’d love to see the bookshelves and safe dinner tables of Cat Sebastian’s queer midcentury baseball and newsroom found families.
