The Colossus of New York - by Colson Whitehead (Paperback)

The Colossus of New York is a masterful evocation of the city that never sleeps, capturing its inner and outer landscapes in a series of vignettes, meditations, and personal memories.

With a style as multilayered and multifarious as New York itself, Whitehead conveys the feelings and thoughts of longtime residents and newcomers alike, as well as the city's cruelties and promises.

This is a literary love song that will entrance anyone who has lived in or spent time in the greatest of American cities.
