Brooklyn for Writers

by Bud Parr

“Capote rented a basement on Willow Street, where he wrote Breakfast at Tiffany’s and In Cold Blood, for $90 a month. Today, that same home (not just the basement, to be fair) is renting for $40,000 a month. Times, as they say, have changed. So while there’s a slower pace to Brooklyn, which for me is helpful in getting the work done, I wouldn’t say that modern Brooklyn is particularly helpful for writing.”

- Peter Melman interviewed at The Written Nerd

Brooklyn is legendary. Especially for us northern Europe (Finland) follies.
