For New York’s anniversary, we are celebrating the history of the city’s restaurants with a series of posts throughout the month. Read all of our “Who Ate Where” stories here.

Traduction Laetitia DevauxC’est l’histoire d’une femme exceptionnelle qui pensait que la révolution sociale passait d’abord par la révolution de l’intime, d’une rebelle qui lutta pour le droit de rester vivant dans ses sens, de jouir de la liberté de pensée et de parole, de rejeter l’usage arbitraire du pouvoir. Résister. Refuser, au plus profond de soi, d’accepter le monde tel qu’il est lorsqu’il semble injuste, c’est ce que fit Emma Goldman.

Within weeks her father lost his job, her parents were evicted from their apartment, and her grandparents’ business was confiscated.

En su más reciente libro El fin de la novela de amor, Vivian Gornick reflexiona sobre las promesas del amor romántico simbolizadas en el matrimonio, a través de un agudo análisis de la literatura anglófona del siglo XX. La escritora estadunidense recorre la obra de autores como Virginia Woolf, Raymond Carver y Jane Smiley para evidenciar cómo el amor y el matrimonio ya no representan, para nuestra época, la realización personal o la conquista de la promesa de felicidad.
