Introduction - read by Erik Orton

Seven at Sea was named the top travel read in The New York Times summer 2019 Book Review. I thought it'd be fun to read you the introduction.

  
The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)
The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)
1974 | Action, Drama, Mystery

"It’s just a nearly perfect film. It has everything. It has humor and suspense. It has danger and emotion. An incredible ensemble cast of the people you’ve heard of and know their name — like Walter Matthau and Jerry Stiller — to the amazing actors who played the characters on the subway train. I think it captures my New York — what I love about New York, what I think New York is — so beautifully. It’s this place of cranky individuals with big personalities who make our city run. And you’d think it wouldn’t work, but actually, it does, and New York comes through. And all the ways the transit cops, and cops, and mayor, and the citizens, and the people in charge of making the trains go — all of these people amazingly work together. And you know, when the lights go off and the old man who keeps saying, “There’s going to be red lights and it’s going to stop the train,” he’s right. Actually the system works. It lumbers along but actually it works."

Books Editor (673 KP) shared own list

Oct 15, 2017
Two finalists for the National Book Awards appear on this week’s New York Times list: Frank Bidart’s collected poems, “Half-Light,” and Carmen Maria Machado’s debut collection of stories, “Her Body and Other Parties.”

We’re nearing the season for ghost stories — or in some cases un-ghost stories and cautionary tales about what happens when we try too hard to put our history behind us.
