Red Hook has changed a lot since you first explored the neighborhood in 1995. So much of Brooklyn, in fact, has seen dramatic change over the past two decades. How do you grapple with change, as a person and as a writer who clearly loves engaging with a place’s history?

I tend to be drawn towards places that are mostly unchanging and to places that I can consider ‘my own.’ To a large degree this is what the book is about—that is, the predicament of holding on to this worldview. The diminishment of Brooklyn is the result of low interest rates as well as the Information Age, which by its nature, has shed light on most of its darkened corners. Simply said, it’s become harder to find our private places—a transformation that goes far beyond Brooklyn’s boundaries.

I’m not sure whether all readers interpreted this as I intended but toward the end of Sunny’s Nights, the only place left in Red Hook where Red Hook still existed for me—that is, as a place of wonder, was beneath the river water. In that vein, Brooklyn, which by day has become so terrifically congested retains its wonder for me largely at night, when the streets have emptied out, the boardwalks have emptied out, the waves have emptied out. I have more than a little stray cat in me.
