New York

Parramatta: A Dictionary of Place and Memory - N

How many novels or books do we need set in New York?

 Has the world been emptied of cities and is New York the only one that remains?

 These days if I pick up a book and it’s set in New York, I tend to put it back on the shelf.

 If the author lists their MFA in their bio, my reaction is often the same.

 While I’m deeply appreciative of universities, they are but one home of literature.
