The Historic Landmarks Preservation Center and Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel celebrated novelist Dawn Powell’s literary achievements at Dawn’s former 10th Street home—from 1931-1942, to be exact. Local residents decked out in ‘40s attire saluted Greenwich Village’s literary heritage, and the Library of America unveiled a commemorative plaque honoring Powell, rated by some Manhattan critics as “America’s best comic novelist.” Proud New Yorker Anjelica Huston—who’s penning a screenplay based on Powell’s A Time to be Born—told The Sheet, “I’m happy to be in the greatest city in the world!”
