The Unsinkable Rose Levine Brings the House Down Again

Posted on August 9, 2025
Blair Fell is a literary wonder. His work in television includes shows like Queer as Folk and the Emmy-winning California Connected. He has written a dozen plays—some award-winning, like Naked Will and The Tragic and Horrible Life of the Singing Nun, plus the downtown cult favorite Burning Habits. His essays have appeared in the HuffPost, Out, and the New York Daily News. He’s a two-time winner of the Doris Lippman Prize in Creative Writing at City College, where he first started writing his debut novel, The Sign for Home. And, his latest novel, The Disco Witches of Fire Island, is piling on the accolades—my own included. I am devouring this witty, magical, heartfelt, and sometimes heartbreaking 1980s tale.

A few days before the Invasion took place, I had the pleasure of meeting entrepreneur Tristan Schukraft for lunch at The Canteen. He is a man of vision, yet also a warm, relatable, and down-to-earth guy. By the way, The Canteen’s burnt brisket sandwich is fantastic, I highly recommend it!
