"Reads like a work of salvage anthropology, an attempt to preserve in words a vanishing communal institution we will all be poorer without."
Yes.

Op-Led: Rest In Peace - Peter Walsh
For decades, he held court at #Coogans, aka Uptown City Hall, with a smile, a song & a story. At Coogan’s, everyone that entered those doors was family. Peter personified the very essence of Coogan’s.

Now, this isn’t just more Mr Whiteside. It’s also introduced by @JonMichaud, with John Bennett elaborating for us: “Thomas Whiteside’s quizzical sense of delight meshed perfectly with the Twiggy phenomenon.” newyorker.com/books/double-t…

Hilarious! A brilliant actor. I saw him on stage several times, and he lives unforgettably in my memory. He took over Dumbledore from my father, which was fitting as he over took Brando as my father’s favourite actor.

Today Althea Gibson would have turned 96.
When I was 13, she showed me what World No. 1 looked like, & doing the same became my goal.
She broke the color barrier in tennis as the 1st Black person to win a major.
Let's continue to honor her memory always.

Seconding this. The Stolen Coast is so assured in style and execution. Can't wait for book #3.
