No words needed my partner Ohad's substack: ohadmazor.subs... @rosscoronia McNally Jackson New York, I thank you for the best literary day of my life.
Everything you said about Patti - yes!! She's such a gem of a human. We never get out what we want to say when meeting people we admire that much. I met her at a book fair and she told me.she was buying a sketch of Baudelaire for a friend as a gift - which feels so very her.
This was soooooo lush. I had seen the pic on insta, sooo lovely to hear the story behind it in more detail and with all your joy. I think I would blackout if we met. In fact I want that blackout moment. Let’s make it happen. Gorg video as always.
so incredible that you got to meet Patti FRICKIN SMITH!!! and Olga! whatta double whammy. i hope you enjoy The Employees! it's such a short, sparse fun one!
Love you too. Your videos are some of my faves. xo I just ordered My Work. I can't wait to read it. I really enjoyed the Employees and really enjoy raw and interesting and honest books and novels about motherhood. I just finished Rachel Cusk's A Life's Work and loved it. I'm a mother of two kids five years old and younger - and the non-sentimental perspective is VERY validating for me. Also - I'm just gonna go listen to Horses now. xoxo
3 people you would die to have a coffee date with, Ben, Patti and Taylor swift, I feel I would leave that conversation with 1000 new words in my vocabulary!❤
That’s incredible Ben. So happy for you. I felt the same when I met one of my fav authors at a festival recently here in Australia. I’m saving Just Kids for when I can savour it. I loved M train and Book of days so much
I couldn't agree more about patti smith! love love love her, such a beautiful and special soul, I also feel that deep connection with her that I can't really explain🥲 I feel something like that with you too! 💜 but I hate you right know because you are the one that gets to use the scarf, you have the patti-power now!!!!!
Patti Smith is my patron saint. I have been in so many situations where I could speak to her / ask for a photo / get an autograph. For twenty years, I always restrained myself and "played it cool." I finally worked up the nerve to speak to her and get a selfie at the New York International Antiquarian Book Fair. (Not a plug, but I also recorded the panel discussion that she participated in. The vid is up on my channel.) I have so much respect for her and I'm glad that it wasn't as cringey as I always imagined it would be. I'm happy that you also had the chance to meet her and had the opportunity to tell her what she means to you. Are you planning on attending the event at Symphony Space in June?
I admired her so so so much. But her support for johnny depp just left a really bad taste in my mouth and ive just never gotten vack to admiring/respecting ger as i did before.
Ahhh thank you so much Ben 🥹 truly means a lot, I gasped at the cafe when I got a notification from you. I am completely in awe of everything you do and I cannot wait to read your other recommendations from previous videos (I have a list like a freak of books you loved and mentioned that I have not read: Dept of speculation, Outline and Pure Colour) - The mac webcam setup is revolutionary! (Also I am OBSESSED with your top absolutely in love)

I met her myself at a book signing about 7 years ago… just talked with her quite briefly, but she was very warm and friendly in that brief exchange…
So happy for you that you got to meet Patti!
Oh, Ben. Mind blowing! Don’t you love it when you’re in the right place, right time. ❤❤❤
seems like a great day!! i'm glad you shared the context of hopping on the train and hoping to make it to nyc on time
Oh, Patti. ❤ M Train is my heart. How wonderful you got to meet her. I'd probably blank, too, from sheer excitement and admiration.

NO WAY SHE LIKED YOUR SCARF. I WOULD ACTUALLY DIE
If she does another signing you have to go and get me one singed. I will fly to the US to retrieve it
