“In New York, everybody is a wise guy. I was in New York during Hurricane Sandy. It was humor that kept us alive. We couldn’t eat much, we had to have breakfast for ten days in a row because the restaurants were closed. But everybody was joking. They were putting up seven families on their floor and they managed through humor.”
Willis Barnstone, poet, translator, biblical scholar, memoirist,
anthologist, teacher and author of many books including
The Restored New Testament: A New Translation with Commentary,
Including the Gnostic Gospels Thomas, Mary, and Judas
