Michael Chabon Quotes

He Also Loved The City Itself. Coming To And Leaving Cousin Joe's, He Would Gorge Himself On Hot Dogs And Cafeteria Pie, Price Cigarette Lighters And Snap-brim Hats In Store Windows, Follow The Pushboys With Their Rustling Racks Of Furs And Trousers. There Were Sailors And Prizefighters; There Were Bums, Sad And Menacing, And Ladies In Piped Jackets With Dogs In Their Handbags. Tommy Would Feel The Sidewalks Hum And Shudder As The Trains Rolled Past Beneath Him. He Heard Men Swearing And Singing Opera. On A Sunny Day, His Peripheral Vision Would Be Spangled With Light Winking Off The Chrome Headlights Of Taxicabs, The Buckles On Ladies' Shoes, The Badges Of Policemen, The Handles Of Pushcart Lunch-wagons, The Bulldog Ornaments On The Hoods Of Irate Moving Vans. This Was Gotham City, Empire City, Metropolis. Its Skies And Rooftops Were Alive With Men In Capes And Costumes, On The Lookout For Wrongdoers, Saboteurs, And Communists. Tommy
