Rosen's new novel is A Shoe Story.
At CrimeReads she tagged ten books perfect for fans of Sex and the City, including:
The Colossus of New York by Colson WhiteheadRead about another entry on the list.
It’s hard to pick just one of Colson Whitehead’s keen observations about New York. He writes about its transformation aftera rainstorm and the magical way it has of seemingly speaking to you, but I especially connected with Whitehead’s reflections on the city’s ability to change without warning. It’s a phenomenon I have never quite gotten comfortable with, especially post-Covid, when places I thought of as institutions disappeared overnight. I first chose “Live every minute as if you are late for the last train,” as my favorite line, but realized there was another that really stuck with me long after I finished the book.
Favorite NYC quote: “New York City does not hold our former selves against us. Perhaps we can extend the same courtesy.”
The Colossus of New York is among Rob Hart's five great books about New York City.
