In our globalized era, it is tempting to imagine that urban experiences have a quality of sameness: skyscrapers, subways and chain stores; a density of bricks and humanity; a sense of urgency and striving. The essays in Mthis collection make clear how wrong that assumption would be: from the dreamland of Jonathan Kellerman’s Los Angeles to the vibrant awakening of Edna Buchanan’s Miami; from the mid-century tenements of Pete Hamill’s beloved Brooklyn to the haunted viaducts of Stuart Dybek’s Pilsen neighborhood in Chicago; from the natural beauty and human diversity of Charles Johnson’s Seattle to the past and present myths of Richard Ford’s New Orleans, these reminiscences and musings conjure for us the richness and strangeness of any individual’s urban life, the way that our Claire Messud is the author of three imaginations and identities and literary histories are intertwined in a novels and a book of novellas.

  • Eat with Guys You Trust
    Eat with Guys You Trust THE BRONX, NEW YORK, 1968 “ ar is full of smoke.” Lanzi’s laugh is a single gruff exhale. Cigarette Wsmoke gushes out his nostrils and up into the light over the table. His eyebrows are thick and black and move up and down one at a time, fast as pinball flippers. His left eyebrow is interrupted by a hanging ball of skin. I shiver with laughter and duck under the thick stream of smoke. “You call this smoke, Daddy, you don’t even know what smoke is.” My father calls me Daddy. He belongs to me. He lays the cigarette down on a plate. The smoke rises in one white rope that curls around the wagon wheel chandelier and spreads out across the tin ceiling patterned like ten thousand pizzelle. We sit together most nights, just me and him at the maple table. My brothers and sister are old enough to be out. Rosemarie works at Macy’s. CarKey and Ant’ny run the streets. My father says with boys, you don’t need to know where they are all the time. I wanna be a boy. I put my feet up on the table, eat with my hands, get my clothes filthy, lean back on the hind legs of the chair. When the women do the dishes, I sit with the men at the table. I feel like a boy most of the time, but I’m not as free as real boys. I feel most free when I’m alone with my father.

    How To Be American: A Podcast by the Tenement Museum Season 2, Episode 1: Our Game [Succession of homeruns—the sounds of a baseball cracking at bat. Successions fade up one after the other.] Man, MLB Announcer 1: “This ball is crushed.” Man, MLB Announcer 2: “There he is with the 2-0 pitch. This is ball smacked!” Man, MLB Announcer 3: “Ozuna, left center field, this way, way out of here!” Man [singing “Take Me Out To the Ball Game” by Edward Meeker, September 1908 recording. Edison Record. Original 1908 lyrics.]: “Take me out to the ball game. Take ​ ​ me out to the ball.” [“Take Me Out To The Ball Game” continues to play, fades when Host introduces the episode’s story.] [Woman’s voice fades up, host of How To Be American: Amanda Adler Brennan begins her intro.] Amanda Adler Brennan: That's the unmistakable sound of an American pass time, baseball. Baseball has always had a special place in our nation's history. [Reflective and Dramatic, high energy music fades up softly as Amanda speaks. Instrumentation: Acoustic Guitar, Banjo, and Cajon.] It's a common symbol of America's values, identity, and rural past. You might even say it's as American as Apple pie. I mean who could forget greats like Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson and Roberto Clemente. The game has inspired great works of art, film and literature. And even evoked the nostalgia of poets.
