Citation(s)

He was a thin man, Hispanic, balding; he looked to be in his sixties. I sipped my coffee and watched him smoke a cigarette and pull another from his pack as he watched Kelly's men fix a flat tire on a Buick. A Puerto Rican woman dragging a cart of laundry waved to him as she passed and he gave her a nod. (http://www.mrbellersneighborhood.com/story.php?storyid=1937)

Discours (notes)

« Mr. Beller's Neighborhood began publishing in the Spring of 2000 and has so far published over to a thousand pieces of original writing. In 2002 it was nominated for a Webby Award in the Print and Zine catagory, and published a book, Before and After: Stories from New York. (Some reviews of the site, here) Another anthology of work that appeared on the site is in the works. The site combines a magazine with a map. It uses the external, familiar landscape of New York City as a way of organizing the wildly internal, often unfamiliar emotional landscapes of the city dweller. It is about a specific place - New York - and it is about the many different consciousness that thrive and wilt and rage and reminisce here. We publish reportage, personal essays, urban sketches-- any piece of writing that might illuminate a corner of life in the city. By and large everything you read on the site is true. The events of 9/11 were the site's focus for a while, but this is a site about a place, not a disaster, and we're open to all kinds of topics. » (http://www.mrbellersneighborhood.com/what.php)
