This may be the best one yet—if not, in the top ten. There is nothing missing. Plus it sent me back to Frank O’Hara. Thank you, Isaac, for this walk and for your compelling companion. I think my heart broke a couple of times, which is always a fine thing. ❤️
This is such a great interview and your interludes/jokes are so good, Isaac. “It’s good to know an honest witch store can still make it in this town” lol. Also, very sorry to hear about your mom ❤️🩹❤️🩹Ada is so cool
I just love this one...not only is it so ripe with history, anecdotes, and nuances, it's also wicked present. I feel as though I'm right there with you both... drinking at the International and then moving the cube.💜
This was so good. I loved the Tompkins Square Park bits.
Ada seems really lovely. My only pause was her last name. A classmate of mine in medical school in Memphis named his son Calhoun. Austin was Charles Austin Mitchel the 3rd or 4th and my friend from med school JD gasped 😱 when he heard Austin named him Calhoun- after the SC Senator who beat a man to death on the Senate floor with a cane for daring to disagree with enslaving Black people. So Calhoun is considered the most racist name in the South. I know she won’t change her name now but that is the biggest Slaver name that ever was.
What an absolute banger of conversation. Thanks, as ever, for letting us tag along.
