Including a comic that reads like a Miyazaki movie, a cozy sci-fi epic, and a book that may banish the word “accident” from your lexicon forever.
On a December day in 1974, just a week before I was born, the writer Linda Rosenkrantz sat down with the photographer Peter Hujar in her Lower East Side apartment and asked him to describe everything he remembered about yesterday into her tape recorder.
The resulting text, transcribed verbatim, makes up, reprinted late last year by Magic Hour Press. The names Hujar catalogues in just one ordinary day—Sontag, Ginsberg, Kupferberg, Lebowitz—combine with his photographer’s eye to create a portrait of a very specific moment in American art and his own place in it. I loved this experiment for its glimpse at a world I’ll never experience, and the way it makes conversation crucial to culture.
