Ian Maxtone-Graham writes: “I wrote an afterword for one of my favorite novels, Providence, by Geoffrey Wolff, which was reissued in October 2024 by Godine Press. The book is set in the Providence of the early ’80s, when the city was ruled by Buddy Cianci and Raymond Patriarca. I met Geoffrey when he came to speak to a journalism class I was taking, and I subsequently read all of his books. Years later we became close friends, and being asked to write the afterword was both flattering and terrifying. I highly recommend the book to all, especially those who remember Providence as it was back then.”
