This is off to a promising start. The further I read the faster I wanted to read, which only occurs in the presence of writing that is quite good or quite bad. This being the former, I am looking forward to part 2 and everything that lies beyond.

What an absolutely compelling and fascinating essay. Your prose had such grace and flow. I thoroughly enjoyed the read, and the photographs complemented the text beautifully. That 1940 image by Kubrick of the couple on the fire escape has always been one of my favorites, but it had been years since I last saw it. Eager to read part two.
