Occupation historian
Location Bronx, NY, United States
Introduction Historian, arts journalist, urban studies prof, writer, hiker, swimmer -- and of course, a member of the Society of Women Who Read Too Much. Adventure and hijinks in every new moment. Always ready to raise a toast with friends to the universe and the mighty Housatonic River.
Interests The city, its nooks and crannies and contradictions with a salsa soundtrack. The country with its rock scrambles, seductive flora, and beckoning waters. Books and poetry, a feast for the imagination, armchair travels for the soul.
Favorite Books Middlemarch, Drive a Plow over Their Bones, The Odyssey, White Oleander, Emily Dickinson, Women of the Beat Generation, Petropolis, Wolf Hall, How to Set a Fire and Why, Aliens and Anorexia, The Brothers Karamazov, The Inferno, Artists in Exile, Pigeon Mothers, Blindspot, Black Gotham, Boss of the Grips, Blindspot, If/Then, The Anomaly, Buddha in the Attic
