\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the '80s, when author/photographer Kurt Hollander lived in New York and published \u003cI\u003eThe Portable Lower East\u003c/I\u003e, life there was particularly rough, and cops often drove yellow cabs as a method to surprise and roust its residents. Before the decade ended, Hollander moved to the equally rough climes of Mexico City, making his living writing and photographing for \u003cI\u003eThe Guardian\u003c/I\u003e, \u003cI\u003eThe New York Times\u003c/I\u003e, \u003cI\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c/I\u003e, and many other publications.\u003c/P\u003e \u003cp\u003eHollander's visual and textual extravaganza, \u003cI\u003eSeveral Ways to Die in Mexico City\u003c/I\u003e, provides a perspective of this extraordinary city that could only have been caught by an observant outsider who lived in all its nooks and crannies for over two decades.\u003c/P\u003e \u003cp\u003eCrammed with caustic but fair observations of the city's history, food, cults, drugs, and buildings, Hollander proves that he can love a city and culture that also kills its inhabitants softly.\u003c/P\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile living high in Mexico City, \u003cB\u003eKurt Hollander\u003c/B\u003e edited \u003cI\u003epoliester\u003c/I\u003e, the renowned bilingual art magazine about the Americas. He also directed the feature film \u003cI\u003eCarambola\u003c/I\u003e, and wrote a successful series of children's books. Grove Press published the \u003cI\u003ePortable Lower East Side \u003c/I\u003eanthology in 1994.\u003c/P\u003e\u003cBR\u003e\u003c/div\u003e |
