In a dazzling original work of nonfiction, the award-winning novelist Colson Whitehead recreates the exuberance, the chaos, the promise, and the heartbreak of New York City, composing a love song that will entrance anyone who has lived, or spent time in the city. In a series of vignettes, meditations, and personal memories, 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 those who struggle against its cruelties. Ambitious in scope, gemlike in its details, "The Colossus of New York is at once an unparalleled tribute to New York and the ideal introduction to one of if the most exciting writers in America today.
