Book Discussion | Lazarus Man by Richard Price


Join WNYC's Alison Stewart and Richard Price for a live conversation about his newest book, Lazarus Man. East Harlem, 2008. In an instant, a five-story tenement collapses into a fuming hill of rubble, pancaking the cars parked in front and coating the street with a thick layer of ash. As the city’s rescue services and media outlets respond, the surrounding neighborhood descends into chaos. By day’s end, six bodies have been recovered but many of the other tenants are missing. It's here we find intertwining portraits of a group of compelling and singular characters whose lives are permanently affected by the disaster. Anthony Carter—whose miraculous survival transforms him into a man with a message and a passionate sense of mission. Felix Pearl—a young transplant to the city whose photography and film work that day provoke in this previously unformed soul a sharp sense of personal destiny. Royal Davis—the owner of a failing Harlem funeral home whose desperate trolling of the scene for potential customers triggers a change of heart and a quest to find another path in life. And Mary Roe—a veteran city detective, driven in part by her own family’s brutal history, who becomes obsessed with finding one of the building’s missing.

Opening Reception | Lens on a Century: Documentary Photographic Albums from the Slavic, East European and Eurasian Collections of The Hoover Institution


The Slavic, East European and Eurasian archival collections of Stanford University's Hoover Institution Library & Archives have long been regarded as one of the premier resources of their kind outside the homelands. Perhaps less well appreciated are Hoover’s extraordinary holdings of tens of thousands of photographs, both “loose” prints and in hundreds of collector-assembled albums found in collections relating to the vast expanse of the Caucasus, the Balkans, Eastern and Central Europe, the Baltics, and of course, Russia and the former Soviet Union. This exhibit in twenty-five panels seeks to provide a “lens” on a period from circa 1899 to the post- World War II era as prismed through a necessarily very small selection of documentary photographic albums chosen from the hundreds found within the Hoover’s archival collections.
