UNYPL in 2012: Portraits

There is so much life underground, and I usually seek to incorporate it, along with the reader, into a storytelling frame. Sometimes though, a simple portrait of a reader seems to tell enough of a story. Here are ten direct portraits of readers from the past year: 

  1. ‎"What Jackie Taught Us", by Tina Santi Flaherty
  2. “Half of a Yellow Sun,” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
  3. “Smile at Fear: Awakening the True Heart of Bravery,” by Chogyam Trungpa
  4. “The Supermale,” by Alfred Jarry
  5. “Sexing the Cherry,” by Jeanette Winterson
  6. “By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept,” by Elizabeth Smart
  7. “Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant,” by Anne Tyler
  8. “A Wrinkle in Time,” by Madeleine L'Engle
  9. “Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void,” by Mary Roach
  10. “Good Omens,” by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
