Amidst police violence at Columbia, CUNY and UCLA, the news that my friend Paul Auster has died. In 1968 he was one of the Columbia student occupiers, fleetingly captured by British filmmaker Peter Whitehead in a documentary called The Fall
If Trump was president and Rudy Giuliani were mayor, most liberals would be screaming.
Dr. H taught Auster's New York Trilogy. One of the best reads.
Farewell Paul Auster, who has died aged 77. There's a character named James Joyce in The Brooklyn Follies. In an interview about the book in 2009 he said Joyce "was my God when I was 18" and Ulysses "came as a sledgehammer."
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

Columbia's student radio station, @WKCRFM, deserves a broadcast journalism prize for its live coverage of the impending police raid of the campus.
“For more than a century,” writes Andrew Ross, Palestinians employed in Israel “have effectively been migrant workers in their own land; their sweat has earned them not equity but disenfranchisement, displacement, and poverty.” go.nybooks.com/4dnEb7A
"I'm a follower of Dr. King," says the renowned civil rights leader Reverend Herbert Daughtry about why he's supporting Columbia University student protesters as they campaign for divestment from Israel and an end to war in Gaza.
