Red Hook Road
In the aftermath of a devastating wedding day, two families, the Tetherlys and the Copakens, find their lives unraveled by unthinkable loss. Over the course of the next four summers in Red Hook, Maine, they struggle to bridge differences of class and background to honor the memory of the couple, Becca and John. As Waldman explores the unique and personal ways in which each character responds to the tragedy--from the budding romance between the two surviving children, Ruthie and Matt, to the struggling marriage between Iris, a high strung professor in New York, and her husband Daniel--she creates a powerful family portrait and a beautiful reminder of the joys of life. Elegantly written and emotionally gripping, RED HOOK ROAD affirms Waldman's place among today's most talented authors.
Visitation Street
A gritty urban drama about the many--and sometimes torturous--forms of redemption It is summer in Red Hook, Brooklyn--an isolated blue-collar neighborhood where hipster gourmet supermarkets push against tired housing projects and the East River opens into the bay. Bored and listless, fifteen-year-old June and Val are looking for fun. Forget the boys, the bottles, the coded whistles. Val wants to do something wild and a little crazy: take a raft out onto the bay. But on the water during the humid night, the girls disappear. Only Val returns, washing ashore in the weeds, bruised and unconscious. This shocking event echoes through the lives of Red Hook's diverse residents. Fadi, the Lebanese bo...
The Horror at Red Hook
Howard Phillips Lovecraft's "The Horror at Red Hook" stands as a chilling foray into the realm of cosmic horror, a subgenre he pioneered. The novella, set against the brooding backdrop of 1920s Brooklyn, unwinds the dreadful tale of Detective Malone's investigation into the occult underbelly of the Red Hook neighborhood. Lovecraft's prose is densely embroidered with gothic elements and a palpable sense of decay, both societal and cosmic. Within this literary context, the story unfolds as a tapestry, intertwining themes of xenophobia, the occult, and the incomprehensible forces that lie just out of human ken, echoing the author's fascination with the unknown and the unknowable. Lovecraft, a t...

Sunny's Nights
Imagine that Alice had walked into a bar instead of falling down the rabbit hole. In the tradition of J. R. Moehringer’s The Tender Bar and the classic reportage of Joseph Mitchell, here is an indelible portrait of what is quite possibly the greatest bar in the world—and the mercurial, magnificent man behind it. The first time he saw Sunny’s Bar, in 1995, Tim Sultan was lost, thirsty for a drink, and intrigued by the single bar sign among the forlorn warehouses lining the Brooklyn waterfront. Inside, he found a dimly lit room crammed with maritime artifacts, a dozen well-seasoned drinkers, and, strangely, a projector playing a classic Martha Graham dance performance. Sultan knew he had...
