 Louis Greenstein, author of Mr. Boardwalk, has recorded a podcast interview and tour of his old haunts in Atlantic City for the Real Jersey Shore Show. Along the way he confesses to being a childhood mascot for the lifeguard crew and tells how his father got into baking and selling pretzels. With host Lauren Doral, he discovers the eternal truth that "you can't have a boardwalk without a psychic," and he recommends where to get the best sub sandwich.

 Many thanks for Janet Fitch's long, appreciative review of Ways of Walking in the Los Angeles Review of Books. It's worth reading in its entirety (she discusses all 26 essays in the book!), but here's how she concludes: Philosophy or personal revelation, pilgrimage or reminiscence, each essay raises its own questions, shines its own light on the human dilemma. How to get home, how to be a singular body in this world. What to do with memory? With loss? Where are we from, where are we going? Is civilization to be cured by the wild? Or is civilization of rich human interest for its own sake? |
