Fair to say none of us who experienced Dartmouth during COVID had a conventional experience, but mine was especially fragmented. When I finally came back to Dartmouth for my sophomore summer, I was relieved to find that we were all rediscovering life on campus to some extent. Nonetheless, I was missing a few more footholds than most. No sports team, music group or Greek space to fall back on. It felt like a clean slate in the best and most daunting sense of the term. I went back to writing for The Dartmouth, which would become my biggest involvement later but still left me with plenty of time and space to play with my identity that had yet to fully form.
Upon reflection during my senior year, I ran up against a new quandary. Can one be critical and buy in at the same time? Could I love Dartmouth without having done so many of the ostensibly essential steps? I felt silly for asking myself four years in.

I used a mix of natural elements, books and accessories, and tried to balance height and visual weight on each shelf, as well as, all the shelves as a whole. Some books are turned around for interest, but also to hide my shameful vampiric addiction.
Remember the cut-out Mr. Sugarplum made for the air-intake vent? I just covered it with the fabric. It may require some special attention over time as the fabric will probably act as an air filter. Ick. I also brought in the hurricanes I typically use for seasonal decor (here and here). They are filled with black sand we brought back from our Santorini trip, and a black candle. The wooden bowl is a travel memento from Belize.
I feel you COMPLETELY! I redesigned my bookcases 2 months ago and I'm still doing the back and forth. In fact, I changed them up again last night! I'm constantly seeing a spot that needs a little "adjusting." There's such a fine line between cluttered, boring and PERFECT! I think yours are right on the money!
Just wanted to tell you that this has been so helpful for me to look at. Not even the bookshelf so much- though it looks fabulous. More the fact that you have doorways and odd walls behind your sofa. I do too. Mine floats in a room with two ugly doors behind it. You are inspiring me to do something about that background. So thanks, Cassie!
mmk so many things to love! fresh and modern update. the little succulent in a votive, brilliant!the square glass mirror planter, so pretty. all the back and forth about styling paid off, it's well balanced and easy on the eyes.
Wow! What a huge difference your little changes made. Looks really great. The only thing I would suggest is looking for modern art that you like for those two black frames. It would bring a real sophistication to the vignette. You could even find modern florals if you liked; I think it would really kick it up a notch. Just my two cents (worth about, oh, two cents!).
They look marvelous! Alright, I think I need to fly you to AZ so you can help me with my 427 sq ft apartment. I love your projects and what you do, truly I do. I think I need to take more time and plan what I want to do with "what" I currently have an the "inexpensive" ways I can DIY! I'm loving the finished look and now it's on to the next project ? Let the fun continue! Oh, and "yes" Monday and August 1st came around way to fast.
To me, there is a huge distinction between authors who are (not generationally wealthy) native New Yorkers and those who moved here however long ago and have just made the city their personality. (Your line about wearing the dress - yes.) It's rare work like Lilly Dancyger's that is the standout, and I can't help but come back to the Class of it all. Lilly documents the city like it's a family member that you love but that fucks you over (but that you still love); her work talks about displacement due to gentrification, and the kind of themes you see on the margins that you rarely see in that Literary It Girl novel, but that are the experience of so, so many people here.
Sorry, this comment ran long. But something that continues to burn in my brain year in and year out is the stratospheric wealth gaps in NYC. I grew up working class in the rural Midwest; I have also lived in Minneapolis and Boston. But I've *never* lived around the kind of wealth that so casually exists here. It's wild. Which is to say, writers who were educated in, or who come from, and who consequently have access to those circles have such a leg up. *shrug* Anyway, it's something that folks considering a move here should keep in mind. If writers want to move here for industry reasons and specifically to build those kinds of connections, it's work, and it takes years, but it will absolutely help your career. But I would never suggest that someone move here to "be a writer." You can, truly, write anywhere.
If we\u2019re going to talk about hating big four publishing (I don\u2019t! I read lots of books!), we have to talk about New York City, and the belief that the culture that happens in New York City is Culture, and not subculture (subcultures all the way down). I, too, watched every episode of Girls, so I have a right *nay* an obligation to talk about the Brooklyn of it all.
I read The Cut piece on \u201Ca voice my generation could be proud of\u2026\u201D And of course, in the sea of hate-clicks and quote tweets, there was the magazine who shall not be named (a magazine editor who once posted a collage photo of three freelance publicists and one stock image of a woman none of us know to complain about the fact that outside publicity costs money)\u2014being a typical \u201Cdevil\u2019s advocate\u201D to say \u201Ci mean, it\u2019s a style like any other and isn\u2019t this how publishing and publicity work? am i missing something? i don\u2019t get the *boring* part. have you read the book?\u201D
And let me tell you what\u2019s boring about it, to someone like me. It\u2019s boring because ten bucks says a person in New York who names a few streets, a few intersections, approximately two restaurants, and maybe a quick subliminal message about one specific theater department where everyone went to school in their novel is going to have a higher chance of selling said novel (whether it\u2019s the \u201Cvoice of a generation\u201D or not) because it\u2019s familiar (and maybe aspirational depending on career-length) to every editor working in big four (re: New York City) publishing.
Is this the part of the newsletter where I tell you that I have no idea where or what Dimes Square is, and to me Lower East Side is a three word phrase I heard a lot when I was trying to figure out who was behind \u201Cxoxo Gossip Girl\u201D\u2014it\u2019s synonymous in my brain with plaid school girl skirts and white button-ups, thick velvet headbands, and concrete steps.
And maybe an MFA from Columbia will guarantee you a book deal (I\u2019d love the numbers on this one, alongside how much the books sold for), but most writers can\u2019t afford the 100k a year price tag even with the 30k fellowships.
And there are even enjoyable forms of New York City privilege, take Walk It Off with Issac Fitzgerald. He mostly walks with writers in New York City because that\u2019s where he is, so although he\u2019s not meaning to perpetuate that what is \u201Cliterary\u201D is \u201CNew York City,\u201D the narrative remains\u2014the best writers reside in the city, are made by the city, and thus the city celebrates.
That\u2019s boring. That\u2019s limiting. That garners a Dwight Garner New York Times book review when quite literally the rest of the world exists. We can say all day that it\u2019s the *New York Times,* thus it supports *New York* authors, but we all know that The New York Times sees itself as the bastion of both national and international news, and so it could expand its page space beyond the expected.
Here\u2019s why: there\u2019s an easier case for an in-house team (an acquiring editor) to be made for a writer who lives in New York City. A few reasons: an editor can have lunch with the author and their agent, the author is likely to have agent connections (even run in the same circles) as said-agents, the editors also live in the city so they\u2019re familiar with the landscape\u2014they might have a nostalgia for the places in the book even (Think: Cordelia Street by Taylor Swift), the publicity machine is easier if you\u2019re mingling with Nylon\u2019s book editor at Drift parties (which The New York Times can\u2019t stop covering), it\u2019s easier to make the connections necessary to get into editorial roles at said publishers (almost always built on networking\u2014they call it an apprenticeship business), obviously, they\u2019re easier to get when you know somebody (somebody in New York is the underlying messaging here)\u2014overall, authors in the city can connect easier with each other\u2014be in conversation, support one another\u2019s work, share writing groups, attend similar workshops, and all other forms of the mingle. Authors in the city are more likely to get space for events at the New York City bookstores, and they\u2019re better attended because they have an actual audience in the city (so fair point there). Imagine a popularity contest, that\u2019s the vibe.
But I\u2019m going to be real with you, usually if a book mentions New York City in the copy, I don\u2019t read it. Most of your favorites, lost on me. (Shout out to Lilly Dancyger\u2019s First Love though because I would never miss a Lilly Dancyger essay, let alone book).
But I\u2019m kind of tired of the trope, yes, I said it TROPE, of New York City as the \u201Cstalwart\u201D of all culture, and I\u2019m really tired of the conglomerates not offering remote internships and jobs in the age of the fucking internet. Book designers need to be in-house, but almost every other role in publishing can be done remotely. (It\u2019s the buildings though, Jack, never let go of the buildings. What would Flatiron be without The Flatiron Building). And I understand camaraderie, I miss it\u2014the woman who cut my hair a few weeks ago was saying how jealous she was that I worked from home, and it is such a gift especially while my children are small, but I miss talking about our stupid little shared shows, and gossip that has nothing to do with me, and eating a yogurt at the speed of light between meetings (though sometimes I still just spoon peanut butter into my mouth or throw back a handful of popcorn and slather on some tinted lip balm instead of showering). 152ee80cbc
