Episode notes

Michael Lewis' latest book is titled Intimate City, Walking New York. It began with an email he sent at 1.32 p.m. on March 13th, 2020. He wrote to a group of architects, historians, writers, and friends inviting them to take a walk in the city. Initially, his goal was distraction from a scary and sort of frightening time when everything seemed uncertain.

Michael Kimmelman has been the architecture critic of The New York Times since 2011, writing about cities, public space, infrastructure, community development, public housing, equity, and the environment. He joins to talk about his extraordinary career in journalism and his new book, “The Intimate City: Walking New York.”
