The Brooklyn Power Throuple Making Space for a Baby

By on • ( Leave a comment )
When New York’s Choire Sicha went to visit writers Grace Lavery, Daniel Lavery, and their very pregnant partner, Lily Woodruff, at their Brooklyn apartment recently, he found: three desks (all in active use), a bassinet (in the middle of the living room), one bed (not very big), and dozens of in-process projects (among them, a historical turned sci-fi novel about constitutional law, an article about the artist Amar Kanwar, and a Murder, She Wrote–style comedy currently called Murder Most Noticeable). The baby — Rochbert “Rocco” Ozymandias Wolverine — arrived a few days before this story came out. Making Choire’s account of his afternoon with the Laverys into a sort of historical document — a little glimpse into this clan’s last few weeks as a threesome.
