Two exciting recent acquisitions: As a lover of pierogi, social histories + outstanding book titles, ‘The Pierogi Problem’ beckons. So does ‘We Started a Nightclub.’ Which reconnects me with my earlier writing on the NY art world of the 80s.

Another worthwhile read from Aeon. This thoughtful essay explores (in all media) writers' reliance on the Aristotelian + Freytag-ian arc. I wonder if there is also a bio-evolutionary explanation for its pervasiveness (as for play).

For those who spent formative years in San Francisco, this day marks a welcome arrival. Looking fwd to @lincolnamitchell’s biography of George Moscone, which promises just as colorful a history of SF as the once mayor.
