A history of Gabe's
Life &
|
|
Gabe Oppenheim is a simple writer.
A wolf-hungry reader of magazines and newspapers and lusty-eyed viewer of black-and-white film. TCM by day, Criterion by night. Seance by wet afternoon. The shadows cast by the broad shoulders of a tough in a tweed coat.
The rugged smell of Russian birch, isobutyl quinoline, smoke.
He's also the creator of a 2021 Japanese television show about diving cops -- "DCU: Deep Crime Unit"; innumerable nonfiction features for Vice, Rolling Stone and The Washington Post; and several books, including his expose of the inner-workings of the fragrance industry, "The Ghost Perfumer," and his latest:
The history of a 1931 NYC love triangle -- turned murderous and suicidal -- that marked the convergence of three major families and involved top politicians (in the Democratic and Republican parties), a preternaturally talented, Paris-trained painter and the lothario son of the most famous Yiddish actor in the world.
It's a deep-dive into the generational, fascinating origins of these lovers, a look into how they ever could have become so enmeshed and at odds, an exploration of the cataclysm, a most violent collision, and its rippling aftermath to this very day.
