New York My LovePaperback, 19 March 2009

A memoir about falling in love with New York City and learning how to love. Enveloped in the restaurants, streets, and museums of 2008 New York, a lusty bodhisattva sings his love song to the paradise that he soon must abandon to help his autistic son. A search for the now and for a lost kiss, the crisis of aging, a paean to the ineffable, and a spiritual transformation, with stylistic hints of Daumal's Night of Serious Drinking, Calvino's Invisible Cities, Jerome's Three Men in a Boat, Jung, classical music, and bewitching but faltering coming-of-age memories. All mingled with what's most beautiful about living in New York.
