Harry Bernstein is the new subject in the New York Mag’s Look Book. He calls originality as a blend of two separate stuff so no wonder original ad guru like him will flaunt names like IBM, Kodak, Heineken in his curriculum vitae with style. There is no favorite in his work folder as he feels all works are recycled. Ask him the secret behind his ping pong outfit and you have this reply
My hat I got vintage out in Williamsburg. My peacoat is Comme des Garcons. I bought it at If on Grand, and my glasses I got on Orchard Street. My scarf is from Century 21.
Does he write book review as well? Not sure enough but could not help but put couple of reviews done here from Amazon.
It s possible to fool all the people all the time. Thomas L. Friedman has proved it. While once he studied relatively small issues in depth, and his poor writing was not as obvious, now he studies the whole wide world. Without depth. With analogies that shift and make little sense. With a tin ear for language and with such energy for such wrong headed or slight notions as to be astounding to this reader. I got through one half of the book and wrote my own review in a local paper. Shame on you all for feeding this man’s egomania.
I can’t give anything by Nick Hornby, an enjoyable writer who keeps readers good company, a 5 star. He is just too middle-brow. But, barring that, this was for me, his best book to date.
