The Infinite Boston Tour




Radio Open Source with Christopher Lydon show

Summary: The writer Bill Lattanzi led us on a tour of Infinite Boston, inspired partly by Bill Buetler's website. He began in the "seat of empire," so to speak, Harvard Square -- epicenter of the ivy-clad buildings, cobblestone streets, churches, libraries, museums, the ancient glory of Boston and New England — which is to say, everything that David Foster Wallace did not write about. We are looking at the Boston traversed by addicts, the homeless, the-down-on-their-luck.
