- @rtmiyake Thanks for the suggestion! #
- Today I'm toggling btwn DeLillo's GREAT JONES ST & Carroll's FORCED ENTRIES. Anyone else reading good #NYC books today? #
- Great descriptions of pre-gentrified Bowery, right? RT @imjasondiamond @pwhny I read Great Jones St. last year. Absolutely loved it. #
- Carroll's FORCED ENTRIES has a memorable Allen Ginsberg cameo. Reminiscent of the Emma Goldman/tickertape scene in RAGTIME. #
- Looking for a great #nyc beach read? We recommend Joe Brainard's I REMEMBER. http://amzn.to/2pUm41 –which you can also follow @Joe_Brainard #
- We like to think that if Brainard were still alive he'd update his "I Remember" projects via Twitter. Would have been his perfect platform. #
- .@wfmu, of course. RT @carnegiehall What are you listening to right now? #
- #downtown11 RT @WNYC High Art: Ken Johnson On How 1960s Drug Culture Transformed Fine Art http://wny.cc/msqMWH #
- Undergrad #downtown11 course is reading JUST KIDS for tomorrow. May be useful: https://ahistoryofnewyork.com/2011/04/patti-smithtv-roundup/ #
- @AllezAllie Sounds like a book we'd buy … #
- @oscarnolan @AllezAllie I can think of a few ships I'd rather not see abandoned. cc @SaveOurSeaport @friendsofbowne #
- @hudsonette Thanks! Back atcha! #
I just finished a great New York book that made me think of WNY (I took it in the spring). Colum McCann’s “Let the Great World Spin” seems like it would be perfect for the class – New York in the 70s, the World Trade Center tightrope walker, cosmopolitanism, immigrants.
