821 | Ben Feldman is Author Who Tackles Crucial Topics in Riveting Reads!

Ben has lived and worked in New York City since 1969. His essays and book reviews about New York City, American history, and Yiddish culture have appeared online and in print in CUNY’s Gotham History Blotter, The New Partisan Review, Columbia County History and Heritage, and Ducts literary magazine.

Ben’s first book, Butchery on Bond Street – Sexual Politics and the Burdell-Cunningham Case in Ante-bellum New York, appeared in May 2007. Its tale of an infamous unsolved murder case from the 19th century is told “like a gaslight-era episode of Law & Order” (The New Yorker). His second book, Call Me Daddy – Babes and Bathos in Edward West Browning’s Jazz-Age New York, appeared in June 2009. The retelling of a notorious tabloid scandal “captures in delicious fashion the philandering real estate magnate in all his buffoonery” according to Sam Roberts in The New York Times.
