gwenprime reviewed The Colossus of New York by Colson Whitehead

Actually the best description of NYC you'll ever read

5 stars

I picked it off a reading list when I was a freshmen in college and had lived in Brooklyn for a grand total of 2 months. I've been here for almost 10 years and still have never seen, heard or read a better description of my home. It's flawless go read it
