@harrysiegel @NYDailyNews All the huffing and puffing and theatrics, it's like Joe Friday (Dragnet) commentary on social media, only missing the soundtrack. Shades of Pat Lynch, but these are ranking officers in their official capacity.
The piece is great. But the letter at its heart… my goodness, Salter! The cadence and mood, the clear light of it… a joy.
In 1993, James Salter sent me a letter abt his Judaism & I've puzzled over it since then. I've finally written abt it @nprscottsimon @adamgopnik @HeidiPitlor @thomasbeller @APublicSpace @kathrynschulz salmagundi.skidmore.edu/articles/502-g…

In 2001 I was with a friend in Brooklyn. We were both stumbling drunk making our way to her Park Slope apt when I noticed another stumbling drunk coming towards us. It was Paul Auster. "Hey, that man is my favorite writer." My friend laughed. "Of course he is," she said. #RIP

Peter Schjeldahl would have been 82 years old today and I so miss hearing him discourse on Velasquez and his other art passions.
A #photographer friend sent me this #JaneAusten quote: “I am not at all in a humour for writing; I must write on till I am.” ✍️✍️✍️ He said, I love this because this is how #writing and #photography and #science and everything else works. #inspiration
The city game lives! And has spread to Japan. Yuta Watanabe, Rui Hachimura have solid NBA careers. A look back to NYC hoops of yesteryear, plus the NYC hoops books by Axthelm, Telander, and Goodman. Plus Walt Frazier.
Praise in my article goes to terrific hoops books by @MGoodmanBooks “The City Game@ and @ricktelander ““Heaven is a Playground.” I’m old enough to have head stories from guys of my parent’s generation about point shaving and money wagered. Catskills resorts were a focal point.
@thecob82 Nice piece. I have to read Telander's book. Can't believe I haven't yet. One you didn't mention, but which I loved, is THE GAME THEY PLAYED by Stanley Cohen, about that great CCNY team, and so much else.
I had fun writing about the history of basketball in NYC, going back to the CCNY 1950 team, and bball’s global spread. The odyssey of Lance Stephenson, who I first saw play as a 14 year old in Coney Island, tells a story of what’s changed and what hasn't. japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/original/persp…
