00:00Love, art, and artists. Meet Timothy Herrick, a longtime local who dropped us into his writing journey and his latest
00:08book, Subconscious City.
00:10Written between 2017 and 2021, Herrick offers a collection of contemporary literary fiction about art and artists, their lives and
00:20loves, all set in Jersey City.
00:22For five years, I wrote a Jersey City blog called Dislocations, where I would also write about artists, and nobody
00:32was writing about artists back then.
00:35Blogs were new, and blogs were hot, and I knew a couple of writers who had started a blog, and
00:41I'm like, I can do that.
00:42I wrote about a lot of things, but also mostly about Jersey City, and that seemed to catch on with
00:49Subconscious City and the blog before it, and even now.
00:54What's fascinating about cities is the revolution.
00:57You know, the way the city changes, and to see those changes, and to see how those changes coincide with
01:05generational changes and changes in the nation and the world,
01:08it's really quite interesting and fascinating to me, and really rich territory.
01:14And plus, I love to walk around and contemplate, you know, the world or my mind.
01:20I love to walk around Jersey City, and Jersey City feeds that to me.
01:24Where can people find your books?
01:26They're available on Amazon, but also at Word Bookstore, and we're trying to get them at some other local bookstores.
01:32Is there anything else you want to add?
01:34I don't know. Is there anything else you want to ask me about how long I've lived here?
01:39Oh, yeah.
01:40I've lived here a long time.
