"A Nightclub Map of Harlem" traces a boozy night from the Radium and the Cotton Club to the Savoy and then the Lafayette; "Wonders of New York" pinpoints three hundred sites of interest, including the alleged location of Captain Kidd's buried treasure; the Ghostbusters subway map plots the route from Astral Projections Place to Stay Puft Street; and a rejected proposal of ornate topiaries illustrates a Central Park that might have been. This sequel to the best-selling You Are Here includes original essays by Bob Mankoff, Maria Popova, Sarah Boxer, and Rebecca Cooper, among others.

About the authors

I am a writer of non-fiction and graphic fiction from Denver, Colorado. I published my first comic when I was 11. I started reading Freud at age 15. I graduated with a degree in philosophy at Harvard. I have drawn & written two psycho-comics --"In the Floyd Archives: A Psycho-Bestiary," a cartoon novel based on Freud's case histories, and its post-Freudian sequel "Mother May I?: A Post-Floydian Folly," a cartoon novel based (very lightly) on the lives and works of Melanie Klein and D.W. Winnicott. I have also edited an anthology "Ultimate Blogs: Masterworks From the Wild Web."
In my spare time, I write essays and reviews for The Atlantic, The New York Review of Books, The Comics Journal, The L.A Review of Books, The New York Times, Photograph, Slate, and Artforum. For many years I was on the staff of The New York Times (1998-2006) where I was, at various points, a photo critic, a Web critic, an arts reporter, an editor at The Week in Review, and an editor at The Book Review.
I have composed a book of poetry, "Datebook 2013: 365 Poems in Memory of a Lost Year." And I am now working on a memoir and a series of Shakespearean tragic-comics (with animals), which includes "Hamlet: Prince of Pigs" and "Anchovius Caesar: The Decomposition of a Romaine Salad." I lived for many years with many roommates in New York City. I now live in Washington, D.C. with my husband (an art curator) and my son (a cartoonist and poet). I used to have a dog who was a mess. Now I have two very together sister cats, both named after small Colorado towns.
