☆ ‘At One Point, I Took a Step, and the Book Fell Out of My Hands’

Image‘Green Mansions’Dear Diary:It was a summer evening in 1974, and I was on my way to visit my boyfriend, who lived on Ocean Avenue near Avenue J in Brooklyn. I had come from Queens and was reading a paperback novel, “Green Mansions” by William Henry Hudson, while waiting for the M train on an elevated platform. At one point, I took a step, and the book fell out of my hands onto the tracks. Suddenly, a tall young man jumped down, retrieved it, climbed back up and handed it to me with a smile on his face. It’s been almost 50 years, and I am still hoping that he never did anything so dangerous again.

☆ When the Skyscraper You Hate Blocks the Skyscraper You Love

When I reached the plaza I turned to admire the Flatiron, as usual. But the view north had changed. The Empire State Building is gone, or almost. From much of the plaza, yet another anorexic supertall for squillionaires, rising at 29th Street, now blots it out. Ever since Henry Hudson sailed through the Narrows, change has been New York’s mantra and bugaboo.

☆ ‘Finding W.H. Hudson’ Review: The Enigmatic Birdman
  + stars: | 2023-08-11 | by ( Christoph Irmscher | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
Detail of the portrait of W.H. Hudson by Frank Brooks that hangs above the fireplace at the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds headquarters in Sandy, England. A beanpole of a man, decked out in tweeds, waistcoat and laced boots, looking more British than the British, he kept himself cool by carrying a moist handkerchief inside his hat. Some believed that Hudson, sharp-eyed and constantly on the move, was like a wild bird himself—a hawk, perhaps, or an eagle. His laugh sounded like that of the green woodpecker, reports Conor Mark Jameson in his new biography, adding that he could no longer listen to that bird without thinking of Hudson.

☆ The Wide World of Puppetry Converges on New York
  + stars: | 2023-08-07 | by ( Laurel Graeber | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
On Saturday, the festival will host a round-table discussion with Lee’s troupe, the Mettawee River Theater Company. “What I want people to experience while they’re here is that the world is whatever you decide to make it for yourself,” said Matthew Sorensen, who curated the shows of Lee’s work. And everywhere, Lee gave castoffs new life: Piano keys serve as puppet teeth, and can lids as eyes. An open mailbox becomes the head and jaws of a dragon; the ribs of a baby carriage form its body. Many, she added, illustrate Lee’s method of taking “what’s just right there” and “exploring what it can do.”
