Key of Knowledge (2010)
“When he was working, thinking about working, thinking about not working, he liked to fold himself into the isolation of his SoHo loft.
Then, the life, the noise, the movement and color on the street outside his windows were a kind of film he could watch or ignore depending on his mood.
He liked seeing it all through the glass, more, very often more, than he liked being a part of it.
New York had saved him, in a very real way. It had forced him to survive, to become, to live like a m...an—not someone’s son, someone’s friend, another student, but a man who had only himself to rely on. It had pushed and prodded him with its impatient and sharp fingers, reminding him on a daily basis during that jittery first year that it didn’t really give a goddamn whether he sank or swam.
He’d learned to swim.
He’d learned to appreciate the noise, the action, the press of humanity.MoreLess
