I had no expectations when artist and journalist Ron Netsky asked for an interview for the remarkably high quality alternative weekly, the Rochester City Paper. By the time we were finished with the interview, my faith in journalism, rustbelt cities, independent media, and public intellectual life had all been renewed. Ron read--and absorbed--the book quite deeply. I didn't want the interview to end. Moreover, his journalism is clearly a labor of love. He didn't phone it in but motored down to Ithaca from the Flower City for an in-person chat. But when did I start speaking in the present tense about past events? And talking like my children? Ugh.
