Joshua Cohen
Writer
He didn’t need an M.F.A. to find early literary success, and he has range—he can play show tunes on the piano, and helped Edward Snowden write his memoir. A great American novelist in the tradition of Bellow, DeLillo, and Roth, Josh Cohen won this year’s Pulitzer Prize for fiction. He lives in his aunt’s SoHo loft, where he is the super.
Hugh Hayden
Artist
This sculptor has never lived downtown—last year he skipped over it entirely, moving from the Bronx to Williamsburg—yet his Surrealist work, mostly made out of wood, often blurring the lines between the natural and the human to make statements about opportunity and inequality, is the talk of the city below 14th Street. Hugh Hayden is represented by Lisson Gallery and has shown at fairs around the world.
