I have to admit, I am a little disappointed to not see my book on some of the other round ups coming out, all of whom raved about it when it was released. In fact, Freaks got nothing but raves. Don't believe me? Just scan this. https://bookmarks.reviews/reviews/all/the-freaks-came-out-to-write-the-definitive-history-of-the-village-voice-the-radical-paper-that-changed-american-culture/

I daresay the "positive" rating is a hedge, there are some like Ed Park's @harpers.bsky.social review that's yet to be added

A rave: "Romano’s massive oral history weaves hundreds of Voice voices into a work so addictive that you wish more authors would tackle the form." (The reason, Ed, is cause IT WILL KILL YOU)

This is a long way to say that end of year best of lists act as shopping guides for the holidays, and I hope you will consider gifting the Freaks Came Out To Write to your New Yorker friends who want some good old fashioned nostalgia ... https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-freaks-came-out-to-write-the-definitive-history-of-the-village-voice-the-radical-paper-that-changed-american-culture-tricia-romano/20145713?ean=9781541736399
