More Brownstone Brooklyn

This Wednesday April 6 at 7 PM I’ll be attending a talk at Community Bookstore about the new book THE INVENTION OF BROWNSTONE BROOKLYN by my old Park Slope friend Suleiman Osman.
Wednesday, April 6th at 7 PM: The Invention of Brownstone Brooklyn
Here is the description from the Community site:
Please join us to welcome Suleiman Osman for a presentation and discussion of The Invention of Brownstone Brooklyn: Gentrification and the Search for Authenticity in Postwar New York. Park Slope native Osman, now an assistant professor of American Studies at George Washington University, has written a landmark study of how this place we call home came to be. If you weren’t among the dozens of people he interviewed for this book, you’re bound to know some of the people mentioned. A follow-up discussion will be moderated by blogger Norman Oder (Atlantic Yards Report). Don’t miss this important event, co-sponsored by the Park Slope Civic Council. (Read Norman’s interview with Suleiman in the Park Slope Patch.)
I’m psyched to attend. I hope some of the old guard shows up to tell their first-person stories. So little is known and understood about the 1960s and 1970s generation that made it all happen – for better and for worse.
See you there!
