SUMMARY:Bill Hayes
DESCRIPTION:Bill Hayes presents Insomniac City: New York\, Oliver\, and Me. \n\n\n\n“A love story to New York and the people we cherish\, for Bill Hayes\, the late Oliver Sacks. With prescience and tenderness\, written with a sharp eye and a camera attuned to life on the streets\, Hayes has composed a gorgeous memoir on why place matters to the soul of our humanity. I loved every single sentence in this quiet night-book\, erotic and evocative\, at once.”–Terry Tempest Williams \n\n\n\nTuesday\, February 28\, 2017 – 7:30pm\n\n\n\n\nBill Hayes came to New York City in 2009 with a one-way ticket and only the vaguest idea of how he would get by. But\, at forty-eight years old\, having spent decades in San Francisco\, he craved change. Grieving over the unexpected death of his partner\, he quickly discovered the profound consolations of the city’s incessant rhythms\, the sight of the Empire State Building against the night sky\, and New Yorkers themselves\, kindred souls that Hayes\, a lifelong insomniac\, encountered on late-night strolls with his camera. \nAnd he unexpectedly fell in love again\, with his friend and neighbor\, the writer and neurologist Oliver Sacks\, whose exuberance–“I don’t so much fear death as I do wasting life\,” he tells Hayes early on–is captured in funny and touching vignettes throughout. What emerges is a portrait of Sacks at his most personal and endearing\, from falling in love for the first time at age seventy-five to facing illness and death (Sacks died of cancer in August 2015). Insomniac City is both a meditation on grief and a celebration of life. Filled with Hayes’s distinctive street photos of everyday New Yorkers\, the book is a love song to the city and to all who have felt the particular magic and solace it offers. \nBill Hayes is the author of The Anatomist\, Five Quarts\, and Sleep Demons. He is a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in nonfiction and was a visiting scholar at the American Academy in Rome. He is a frequent contributor to the New York Times\, and his writing has appeared in The New York Review of Books and Salon\, among other publications. His photographs have been featured in Vanity Fair\, the New York Times\, and the New Yorker. He lives in New York. Visit his website at billhayes.com
