Sounds fascinating! Beautiful building, too. I think I’ve heard of the novel, and it’s definitely going on my tbr.
I’m sure I’ve recommended the book The Lonely City (Olivia Laing) before, because I can’t stop thinking about it. Each chapter profiles an outsider artist or one portraying loneliness and anonymity in their work. These histories are interspersed with cultural/philosophical/psychological reflections on loneliness.
I believe Peter Hujar is in there, as succeeding chapters highlight the network of artists active in 1970s NYC, many involved in and documenting the gay scene.

I have it! Sounds like a perfect book for my trip —thanks for the nudge, love. ❤️
I’m finally reading Land of Milk and Honey and enjoying the vivid language! (the story too)
