The Factory
“In the factory—she had immediately understood—overwork drove people to want to have sex not with their wife or husband in their own house… but there, at work, morning or afternoon.”
Greenwood’s Strings
I’ve never had an office, apart from the sad, windowless closet I occupied as a grad student. I don’t own a desk. Some days I work at my kitchen table, but more often I sit on my couch or in bed with my computer on my lap. Music, rather than location, is what grounds me as I write.
Introducing: Music for Desks
“By describing how the practice of writing interacts with the act of listening to music, the essays in “Music for Desks” aspire to a similar magic. These pieces will be exploratory in nature—in all senses about process, rather than result.”
Yom Kippur, Bushwick
Like my ancestors before me
at the five and dime on Moore Street:
a desperado Jew heads east.
Kastro
“I tried putting myself in Mert’s shoes—I was in his underwear after all—and wondered at how easily he had offered me something so intimate. Realizing that all my efforts had been so transparent, that I had no protective cover whatsoever, was like being shoved into cold water again and again.”
To Live and Defy in LA: An Interview with Felicia Angeja Viator
The point is that they worked to create a platform for themselves—for Black youths—to say whatever they wanted to say. That’s their most powerful legacy.
