INTERVIEW: A PEOPLE’S GUIDE TO GREATER BOSTON

Written by MAX L. CHAPNICK Posted August 21, 2020 Filed Under: A+E, Books, Interviews

A People's Guide to Greater Boston

“A People’s Guide to Greater Boston,” out now from the University of California Press, is a very readable text but one that’s hard to define. A guide book with a historical, left-wing perspective, it is both thoroughly well-researched and pleasing to the eye: a high-production-value text and a far-reaching survey of important sites in and around the city.

Written by MAX L. CHAPNICK Posted February 4, 2020 Filed Under: A+E, Drinks, Eats, FEATURES, LIFESTYLE, MUSIC, Non-fiction, Performing Arts

Besides the voices, the sound effects, like wind or foot-stomps and the open-tuned guitars, Bodkin introduces his shows with the sort of accessible yet scholarly lore that eases listeners into his worlds.

IHSSANE LECKEY BUILDS THE CASE FOR HER CAMPAIGN, AND FOR THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE

Written by MAX L. CHAPNICK Posted June 19, 2019 Filed Under: News, NEWS+OPINIONS

“For me, my story and why I’m running are so intertwined. My story is that I’m a survivor, I’m an immigrant, I’m a Wall Street regulator, I’m a mother,” she says. These experiences “compelled” her, to use her word, to run for office.
