Chicago friends: journalist @newsnneka is moving from Boston to @ABC7Chicago and wants reading/listening recommendations about her new home. Bellow, Dreiser, Cisneros, Algren…where to begin? I’ll start w/ Mike Royko’s Boss and Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun. What else?

This 📸 of Julia trimming asparagus at her kitchen table is from Pamela Heyne’s book “In Julia’s Kitchen.” The room—the heart of the Irving Street home she and her husband Paul shared—is on display at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.

Caro will convincingly write in The Power Broker that Robert Moses used bridge construction to keep people of color out of Jones Beach State Park. One day’s reporting: he and his wife Ina stand at the parking lot entrance and hand-tally visitors by race—white, Black and Latinx. https://t.co/6jrQDJNtsp

“American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer” is one of the great biographies. Authors ⁦@Kaibird123⁩ & Martin Sherwin won the ⁦@PulitzerPrizes⁩ for the book, but I imagine this vindication is just as sweet. https://t.co/DParUa4vYN

Such a joy to see @JuanManSantos⁩, Nieman Fellow alum and Nobel Peace Prize winner, who stopped by Lippmann House with his son Esteban and a copy of his memoir “The Battle for Peace” to add to the library where we keep Nieman-authored books. https://t.co/oGeJrKvHR7

Good story about complexities of bringing Anthony Lukas’s landmark Common Ground to the stage. Nearly 40 yrs after publication of the ⁦@PulitzerPrizes⁩-winning book, telling the story of race, class & busing in Boston remains a monumental undertaking https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/05/21/arts/connecting-busing-era-today-common-ground-revisited-follows-long-complicated-path-stage/
