Book Report
Brit in Brooklyn, A Person of Interest
Last month, local author Susan Choi was published in "Brooklyn Was Mine," an anthology of essays from which proceeds are going to Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn. Yesterday, graphic designer and Atlantic Yards shutterbug Adrian Kinloch launched the website for Choi's new book, "A Person of Interest."
The Brooklyn Paper, ‘Fan’ empowerment
Reporter Jeff Cretan sits down with local sportswriter Will Leitch to talk about his new book and, the topic on everyone's mind these days, Atlantic Yards.
Leitch, who grew up in the small town of Mattoon, Ill., shies away from the kind of excess seen on TV. When asked about Brooklyn’s own sports controversy, the Atlantic Yards, he took an even-handed approach.
“Where I’m from, New York might as well be China. So it would make Brooklyn more national. You live in Brooklyn? That’s where the Nets play.” But personally, he is not in favor of “the Manhattanization of Brooklyn.”
