Wendell Jamieson sat down and gave an interview — discussing his life, his work, his books and his passions!

Wendell Jamieson is a prize-winning, New York-born and raised writer and editor who spent 30 years covering every major story the city had to offer – from riots in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, to the Crash of TWA 800 in 1996 to 9/11 and its aftermath. He has worked for four major New York newspapers, beginning as a copy boy, and is perhaps best known in journalism circles for editing “Portraits of Grief,” the thousands of profiles of victims of 9/11 that appeared in The New York Times.
