From a Columbia University Lecturer…

remarkable candor.

Joan Gussow, locavore, is interviewed in the New York Times about reconstructing her garden along the Hudson River after floods.

The NYT writer quotes from one of Gussow’s memoirs, in which

[Ms. Gussow writes] that, to her surprise, she did not miss her husband [after he died], or even grieve for him.

“I kept experiencing it as a strange liberation from things I hadn’t known I was imprisoned by,” she writes.

    Sounds to me like she has a closer emotional connection with the garden and the polar bears than she had with her husband.

    She lived next to a river, it says. De Hudson or De Nile?
