They were our husbands and wives, our mothers and fathers, our brothers, cousins, neighbors, friends, colleagues, lovers. Busboys and businessmen, pilots and programmers, secretaries and socialites, firefighters and financiers. They were heroes by choice, they were heroes by chance. They were loved, and they were lost. -- -- Soon after the horrific events of September 11, newsroom staffers at The New York Times began to ask about the real people, the names and faces behind the unimaginable statistics. Their efforts, which grew into the daily Portraits of Grief feature, gathered force over the ensuing weeks and eventually became a cultural phenomenon on a national scale. Each day, readers in New York and across the country spent a few moments getting to know the doting fathers and loving spouses, gourmet cooks, fanatical sportsmen, partygoers, church elders, pranksters and perfectionists -- the astonishing diversity of unique individuals. And as we made the transition from mourning our loss to celebrating these lives, a gentle note of uplift was sounded, and we began to think about healing. -- -- PORTRAITS: 9/11/01 brings together all the poignant memories and reminiscences, and stands as a lasting tribute to these beloved souls.

Portraits: 9/11/01: The Collected "Portraits of Grief" from The New York Times
Times, The New York
New York: New York Times Books, May 1, 2002 2002. Hardcover. AN/AN. 4to 11.1 x 8.8 x 2 inches. First Edition, First State, )First Printing) \nFrom Library Journal\n\nIn the days and weeks following the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the nation and New York in particular struggled to find normalcy. Yet the city's desire to confront the terror and, in turn, work through its grief was palpable. The New York Times's series "Portraits of Grief" was one response to this need. Described by Times executive editor Howell Raines as "snapshots of lives interrupted as they were being actively lived," the profiles give a face to a number, a story to a name. By now everyone in the nation has read at least one of these portraits, heard the legacy of a loved one retold by a friend, or remembered the name of just one person who perished. As the series initially served to highlight the missing, it eventually lent itself to healing a nation by giving short, unglorified glances into the lives of everyday Americans. This book collects the portraits that ran from September 15 through February 5 in the paper's " A Nation Challenged" section, with the hope that future printings will include the rest of those who were remembered. Each page is filled with the kaleidoscope of perspectives and passions that were lost that day, with victims ranging from firefighters and mothers to waiters and financiers in an equality of bereavement. Unfortunately, the look and feel of the newspaper are maintained, along with the poor picture quality, detracting from the often poetic text. That aside, it is recommended for all public libraries, where there will no doubt be demand. [One copy will be given to each victim's family, and all proceeds from the book go to benefit the New York Times 9/11 Neediest Fund. Ed.] Rachel Collins, "Library Journal.\n- Rachel Collins, "Library Journal"\nCopyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.\n\n\nReview\n\n"Extraordinary . . . wonderful snapshots, full of tiny telling details. The sweetness of these severed lives is overpowering." -Los Angeles Times\n\n"In a story producing great journalism, none has been more exceptional than the New York Times's ‘Portraits of Grief.' They are profoundly moving." -The Wall Street Journal\n\n--This text refers to the \n\nHardcover\nedition. ( more information) Offered by Hornebook (United States)
