Digging through Google Images, subject head Iconography of Manhattan Island, to collect some pictures for a presentation about Love, Fiercely, I wade through intricate vintage maps of New York to find, surprisingly, a cover of my book, and then my own photo. What really shocks me is coming upon this picture of Oliver. Looking up as if he has just skimmed the Iconography for some fascinating details of Manhattan’s past pets over a modest snifter of brandy. He doesn’t know he’s there for the Googling.
