Reviews

"A vast, imaginative construction full of humor and heartache, genius and stupidity, grandeur and decay and renaissance. Church bells and meat raffles, the East Side and the Broadway Market, racism, the courage of immigrants old and new--they're all here . . . In this epic and essential volume, as Jody K. Biehl writes in her beautiful introduction, 'Buffalo's scrappy weirdness endures.'" --Mick Cochrane, author, The Girl Who Threw Butterflies, "Right Here, Right Now is absolutely one of the best books about Buffalo ever created--a genuinely essential book to be put on the same shelf as Lauren Belfer's City of Light and Verklyn Klinkenborg's The Last Fine Time and very few others. No literate Buffalo home should be without one." -- Buffalo News, "Right Here, Right Now is absolutely one of the best books about Buffalo ever created--a genuinely essential book to be put on the same shelf as Lauren Belfer's City of Light and Verklyn Klinkenborg's The Last Fine Time and very few others. No literate Buffalo home should be without one." -- Buffalo News, " The Buffalo Anthology is the stuff that dreams are made of, covering a broad range of Buffalo experiences, for good and ill. Not another exercise in blind boosterism, the collection fearlessly notes the dark side of an ethnically and racially divided town, of glory days fading as the tax base evaporates, of history ripped down for the paltriest of motives. Buffalo on the rise deserves this smart and well-written song to itself." --Michael Healy, TV executive, movie writer, producer, " Right Here, Right Now is absolutely one of the best books about Buffalo ever created--a genuinely essential book to be put on the same shelf as Lauren Belfer's City of Light and Verklyn Klinkenborg's The Last Fine Time and very few others.

Synopsis

Buffalo is a magical place to be and this anthology walks the reader through the decades. The newness of the city is electrifying and sits atop a glorious history of power, disappointment, artistic flair, racial injustice and spicy chicken wings--and Buffalo has the Niagara Falls in its backyard. Told through the eyes of more than 65 artists, writers, and residents, the essays will give readers a feel of the city, its good and bad sides, and why many people love calling Buffalo their home. The contributors include: Lauren Belfer, Wolf Blitzer, Marv Levy, John Lombardo, Mary Ramsey, Robby Takac, and many more., Part of Belt's City Anthology Series. "Absolutely one of the best books about Buffalo ever created."-- Buffalo News Buffalo, New York, sits atop a glorious history of power, disappointment, artistic flair, racial injustice, and spicy chicken wings--and all with Niagara Falls in its backyard. Told through the eyes of more than 65 artists, writers, and residents, the essays, poems, and photographs in Right Here, Right Now offer an unblinking, personal portrait of this often-overlooked city, both its good and bad sides. Edited by Jody K. Biehl, contributions from Wolf Blitzer, Lauren Belfer, Marv Levy, John Lombardo, Mary Ramsey, Robby Takac, and many more show why so many people love calling Buffalo home. Here, you'll encounter: - Frederick Law Olmsted's impact on the city's early design - The pain and joy of biking through Lake Effect snow - Racism in a gentrifying city and city planning initiatives - The rise and fall of the Buffalo mafia - A trip to a Western New York meat raffle. Touching on the meaning of home and how to find it, this collection offers an honest look at where Buffalo's been, where it is today, and where it may be going next. An insiders' kaleidoscopic portrait of a messy, magnetic, and magical city.
