Guess who?

I'm on my way uptown to interview a writer a lot of you are obsessed with but never read a word of. Some don't take her seriously, regardless of the fact that she's such an influential storyteller. Such is the business of being a woman, she might say.

This writer is responsible for a lot of ideas about new york. How it is or isnt or should be. In fact, many still ascribe her work from the 90s to present day social economics. This is because it takes a lot for society to change but also because stories about new york are self perpetuating. The people who make media live here, and we love mythologizing ourselves.

So what will I speak to this legend about? Men, maybe. Money, definitely. Those girls in the west village. The way saving is important but so is dressing the part. Writing fiction. Writing about friends. Writing books that never get published. Performing. Putting ones life on display. Growing up. Getting older. Caring less. Finding comfort. Whether it was all worth it. What one might do or have done differently… Do you know who I'm talking about?
