    For Whom the Bell Tolled in 2001 - The Village Voice (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Editor’s note, September 10, 2026: Days after the Twin Towers collapsed, on September 11, 2001, the official estimate was “New York has lost more than 5,000 people.” In time, it became apparent that this figure was mercifully lower, but still appalling. According to the city’s official 9/11 Health Site, “Nearly 2,800 people died, including 343 firefighters, 23 police officers, 37 Port Authority police officers, and more than 2,200 civilians.” (Mayor Mamdani has just released records revealing th

    Ex-Republicans Bring Their Trump Derangement Syndrome to the 92nd Street Y - The Village Voice (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In her 1996 book It Takes a Village, Hillary Rodham Clinton quoted the author of Moby-Dick, Herman Melville: We cannot live for ourselves alone. Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads, and along these sympathetic fibers, our actions run as causes and return to us as results. Even in the 10th-anniversary edition linked above, her editors failed to note that the quote was actually from an Anglican preacher with a similar name, Henry Melvill, who lived from 1798 to 1871 and in 1855

    In love, in pain, in debt, in time, in Hell, in life … in general, in other words. In 1998, Ed Park was in his late twenties, and like every serious writer, he had long kept notes of observations, phrases, quotations, and whatever else struck his fancy. Presaging our current era of finger flicking — be it the Doom- or Zombie- or Shop- or even the Hopescrolling we do today — Park hit on the idea of writing a memoir consisting of hundreds of short entries, each starting with the word “In.” What in

    Ground Control: The Serendipitous Art of the Streets - The Village Voice (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It was one of those scenes you stumble upon trekking through the city — just another universe on the macadam. No one can hear you scream in space, but the mind’s ear might go back to a wailing toddler, her ice cream cone dropped and splattered beyond any hope of the five-second rule, a nebula of sugary pink flakes and baby-blue cream melted to ashes and locked in a binary star dance with a trepanned orange perched perilously at the event horizon of a sewer grate. The flaring structure of the irr

    Finding Beauty Underfoot and On High - The Village Voice (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Pat Place has discovered art galleries under the feet of New Yorkers and Los Angelenos. Everyone has seen those brusquely sprayed rectangles, circles, and arrows on streets and sidewalks, fluorescent harbingers of unyielding pavement morphing into a Con Ed trench or of crisscross scaffolding sprouting from a sidewalk seemingly overnight. Shooting with her iPhone, Place (born 1953) calls out affinities among these survey markings. In one of the more than two dozen diptychs on display, a straight
