Susan Orlean & Philip Taaffe Launch 'The Floral Ghost' at Rizzoli

Susan Orlean & Philip Taaffe Launch 'The Floral Ghost' at Rizzoli

As much a celebration as it is a eulogy for the flower district.
- Joseph Akel, The New York Times

Orlean's piece goes beyond her initial wonder at the idea of "a district of flowers" to wax nostalgic, but never sentimental, about a part of New York that many young writers today will never get to experience.
- Lauren Oyler, Broadly

The district itself may also never return to its former lush glory, like a flower cut at its peak, but 'The Floral Ghost' captures one day of its thriving history through one person’s ephemeral memory.
- Allison Meier, Hyperallergic
