Leave it to New York City to have not one but 2 Dickens societies. After an unpleasant split more than 20 years ago, the 2 similar groups have been operating in close parallel with no reunification in sight. Both are chapters of the worldwide #DickensFellowship, founded in 1902 in London, and both try to keep the memory of Charles Dickens alive by discussing his work at monthly meetings held — separately, of course — at the same library branch on East 23rd Street. Both groups keep Christmas with a traditional holiday party, often on the same weekend, as happened this year. At the Friends of Dickens New York holiday party at a bar in Manhattan, @jonnotherattman photographed Jerry Frohnhoefer, left, with Kevin Quinn. A @ニューヨーク・タイムズ reporter listened as they discussed the social commentary in Dickens’s works. Jerry, who teaches at a college in Queens, compared the social ills of London to those today in NYC. Kevin, who works in the truck leasing business in New Jersey and can discuss the particulars of Dickens and commercial trucking with equal proficiency, nodded and said: “Where’s the outrage? I walked over 5 or 6 people laying in the street today.”
