Greenwich Village: By a writer about past writers

The lost atmospheres of past forms of Greenwich Village will reveal themselves. We will interrogate what ingredients simmered together to make such delicious art. Figures like James Baldwin, Mark Twain, Edna St. Vincent Millay, William S. Burrows, EE Cummings, Jack Kerouac, Henry James, and Allen Ginsberg will feature prominently. I hope to bond the thinkers as closely as possible to the place, and demonstrate how they both formed each other. We will focus as much on the literary history as the engaging stories behind them. You’ll walk away with new tales of feuds, violent crime, love, and heartbreak from the spinsters of the myth surrounding New York City.
