Victoria Levchenko’s Reviews > The Very Heart of It: New York Diaries, 1983-1994 > Status Update

A few unexpected historical asides, though mostly a window into NYC literary and queer life in the 80s-early 90s, with AIDs anxiety permeating every day life.

Definitely not a read for you if you’re not interested in publishing or queer life (mostly because it’s so long).

(Loved the Sontag and Didion quips haha)
