Additional Details

Between C&D was one of the most influential literary magazines of the downtown New York scene. It provided a forum for both established and emerging writers, many from the LGBTQ+ community, whose voice were not being heard in mainstream conventional literary magazines. The magazine published a story written by the late chef Anthony Bourdain about a chef scoring heroin on the Lower East Side. Over the years, Rose nurtured Bourdain's talent and published a number of books together, including Typhoid Mary, the graphic novels "Get Jiro!," "Get Jiro: Blood and Sushi," and "Anthony Bourdain's Hungry Ghosts," in 2018.
