FYMTQ: Molly Lambert of This Recording
We’re still on the This Recording kick (GO READ IT NOW - IT WILL REQUIRE THINKING) and we’re fortunate that managing editor Molly Lambert (and here) responded to a request to revive the FYMTQ. Put on your autumn sweater and listen to the sound of ten hearts beating as one…
What’s your background? (Please include an explanation of This Recording.)
I first met Alex Carnevale when I saw him give an inflammatory political lecture in Portland, after which he convinced me to leave my dentist husband and run off to Greenwich Village to become a radical. My first published piece of writing was a review of the Armory Show. Carnevale and I had a tempestuous on and off open relationship over the next five years until I dumped him for Eugene O’Neill. Alex went to Russia to cover the revolution and when he came home we got back together. He then insisted on returning to Moscow to finish his book “Ten Posts That Shook The World” and was killed, becoming the only American ever buried in the Kremlin. In memoriam, I founded This Recording and made Alex editor in chief.
