I just finished *Apex Hides the Hurt*, a novel by Colson Whitehead. I need to write a paper on it for Tuesday. I was just looking at his website and I happened upon a passage from his collection of essays *The Colossus of New York*. Check this line, it's so DEAD on:

"You are a New Yorker when what was there before is more real and solid than what is here now"

Dead. Fucking. On.
