The Colossus of New York pdf epub mobi 圖書描述

In a dazzlingly original work of nonfiction, the award-winning novelist Colson Whitehead re-creates the exuberance, the chaos, the promise, and the heartbreak of New York. Here is a literary love song that will entrance anyone who has lived in—or spent time—in the greatest of American cities.

A masterful evocation of the city that never sleeps, The Colossus of New York captures the city’s inner and outer landscapes in a series of vignettes, meditations, and personal memories. Colson Whitehead conveys with almost uncanny immediacy the feelings and thoughts of longtime residents and of newcomers who dream of making it their home; of those who have conquered its challenges; and of those who struggle against its cruelties.

Whitehead’s style is as multilayered and multifarious as New York itself: Switching from third person, to first person, to second person, he weaves individual voices into a jazzy musical composition that perfectly reflects the way we experience the city. There is a funny, knowing riff on what it feels like to arrive in New York for the first time; a lyrical meditation on how the city is transformed by an unexpected rain shower; and a wry look at the ferocious battle that is commuting. The plaintive notes of the lonely and dispossessed resound in one passage, while another captures those magical moments when the city seems to be talking directly to you, inviting you to become one with its rhythms.

The Colossus of New York is a remarkable portrait of life in the big city. Ambitious in scope, gemlike in its details, it is at once an unparalleled tribute to New York and the ideal introduction to one of the most exciting writers working today.

From the Hardcover edition.

b.arch freshmen讀物, 我湊熱鬧讀瞭. 短促的句子精簡又形象地錶達瞭滿腔的pessimism n woe, eg 'Why should anyone else have it easy. Spoken like a true New Yorker.' 嗬嗬嗬也是蠻冷水的

"We can never make proper goodbyes. It was your last ride in a checker cab and you had no warning." 那年廣福道的素食店結業當天彈瞭吉他的老闆唱的哪首歌拼命想也記不起來瞭 難得有講再見 也是幸運。"The city never got a chance to say goodbye to me. I think they would have liked to--I refuse to believe in their indifference." Bye. 好喜歡morning那篇.
