A review by philsaaw
The Colossus of New York by Colson Whitehead

adventurous funny reflective medium-paced

4.0

This is a lovely book of 13 essays describing life in the Big Apple. With his typical prose, Whitehead beautifully elaborates how the everyday makes cities, and how cities (specifically New York, of course) makes the everyday.

This has probably been my favourite travel book, even though it can't really be counted as one. More than anything, it highlights what cities are made of: Us.
