It’s before dawn on what promises to be a fine day, and a young woman from New Jersey has begun her long commute to New York’s financial district, where she works in an office very close to the World Trade Center. She frets about the prized blue silk suit she is wearing; she has had a child since she bought it, and is not sure it still fits the way it should. The fabric feels tight on her and the skirt rides up her legs. It’s her main concern this morning. But today is September 11 2001, a [...]
Do you remember Sept 11, 2001? I thought I did, until I read this book. This eyewitness account begins at dawn on the day and took me to moments I should have imagined but hadn't. I read this book in one day, only because I could not put this extended short story down. Gripping, meaningful, personal and yet all too generalizable, I will never forget the experience of Michaela DiBernardo, or any of the other victims or survivors she brings so vividly to life. Our country persists, but it is clear [...]
The Blue Suit is a harrowing and touching tale of the September 11 attacks of the World Trade Center by an eye witness. Michaela’s narration turns the event into a more personal experience, taking the reader through the emotions of those affected by the event before and afterwards. People offer each other assistance and struggle to safety, placing themselves at risk. Strangers reach out to strangers. The story bares it all - the frantic anger, the hurt, the anxiety and worry as people come to [...]
This short story begins with a common concern then rapidly thrusts the reader into a once in a lifetime event. This vivid memoir, narrated in third person chronicles 9/11 from the personal account of the author Michaela DiBernardo. The author begins her day commuting to work in her blue suit an outfit she fears has gotten too tight as it was purchased pre-baby. On this first day back to work since the birth of her youngest child, DiBernardo quickly transfers the focus of her thoughts from the su [...]
Impossible to find the words to describe this story. It is one that you just have to read for yourself.
When I was asked to review "The Blue Suit", I actually thought I was going to be reviewing a fictional version of events, no idea why I thought this. It wasn't until I finished the story that I realised it was actually what the author had witnessed on the day.Sept 11th - who can forget that date? I never used to because it's the day my dad celebrates his birthday. Now, it's a day that I, and the rest of the world, remember as one of the worst days in history.Reading the first chapter of "The Blu [...]
The Blue Suit puts into shocking narrative the awful events of 9/11. Pages are punctuated with ellipses, exclamation points and words in all caps. Normally, this grammatical technique is frowned upon. Yet how else can one describe the sheer terror, confusion and pandemonium of that eventful day? The book is quite melodramatic, and this is one of the few instances in literature in which melodrama is becoming.I liked how the author used an object, in this case clothing, to embody the emotional sta [...]
