words and buildings
Anna pointed me to this today--it's a book about Brooklyn, photographs by Kate Milford and words by Jonathan Lethem (who has a new book of stories {i think} called How we became insipid--it's being published by some indie press that is rumoured to be prohibited from advertising the book so as not to draw any attention away from J.L.'s "major label" works).
I like Jonathan Lethem's words about Brooklyn. Fortress of Solitude is certianly one of my favourite works of fiction, and his essay about the Hoyt-Schermerhorn subway station set me off on an exploration of the ghost platform.
I assume that this book is going to be a pleasure to hold in my hands someday.
