Naturally, I also plan to continue asking as many impertinent questions as possible.
Exclusive: Deborah Solomon Out at New York Times Magazine | The New York Observer
this afternoon has been full of bummers, and this is one of them. virginia left too, which i hadn’t heard earlier.
i’ve had conversations with ma dukes about the magazine. i grew up with it. first, i never read it because i never related to it (not because it didn’t intrigue me) but then i slowly started becoming interested. who knows if this was an effort of the times or an effort of my own curiosity but, while this was happening, my mother’s criticism was growing. it wasn’t the magazine she knew and the prose wasn’t there anymore. this was around the time they were doing those boring comic strips.
within the past few years, i’ve probably read, enjoyed and linked to deborah & virginia’s pieces the most. i looked forward to them and, quite frankly, it sucks that their voices won’t be there anymore.
full circle, huh?
…
the great thing about transition is the act itself. what one or one’s ideas and missions become. those who work hard, honest and are good at what they do will always have light shining down.
