A few years ago, Mitch Anzuoni, a self-proclaimed multimedia mogul who runs a small press called Inpatient, started placing old newspaper boxes around New York City. Inside: posters, books, zines, erotica. Cost: a quarter.
In the old days—the days of the sidewalk shoeshine, the days of the pay phone—a New Yorker could buy an evening edition of thefrom a metal news box and read it on the subway home. No push notifications involved. But history has a way of repeating itself. Somehow, baggy jeans are back, and mullets, too. And news boxes are showing up on street corners again.
Anzuoni, who is thirty-two, planned to spend the afternoon checking on his news boxes before installing the latest one. Inpatient’s titles, which are printed and bound in Reykjavík, Iceland, include a novel, translated from the Russian, that is rumored to be authored by Vladimir Putin’s former deputy chief of staff; a story about the sex life of a grocery-store cashier; and a young woman’s first chapbook. “I realized I can make any book I want,” Anzuoni said.
Anzuoni was devastated. He demanded an apology. The Whitney sent him one, on official letterhead, and a check for $477.56—what he had paid for the news box.
