There You Are: a Normal person. And Then One Day...

The NYPR Archive Collections | Jan 1, 2000

Nearly twenty years after the Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster, we bring you stories from survivors, collected by Belarussian writer Svetlana Alexievich. Also this week, record-digging with Ken Shipley and Rob Sevier, expert scavengers of the Numero Group label. And conversation with former New Yorker colleagues Jamaica Kincaid and Ian Frazier, who have remained fast friends for three decades.
