All-time favorite song is tough, I gotta say. I think it would probably be a Beatles song, so maybe "Strawberry Fields Forever"? Do you have one?(less)

Neruda on the Park by Cleyvis  Natera
"I liked how this book boldly tackled the issue of gentrification. Cleyvis Natera also poses interesting questions about what happens when someone close to you (in this novel, a family member) opposes your political view of the world. There’s also a s" Read more of this review »

“And so now I'd like to say - people can change anything they want to. And that means everything in the world. People are running about following their little tracks - I am one of them. But we've all got to stop just following our own little mouse trail. People can do anything - this is something that I'm beginning to learn. People are out there doing bad things to each other. That's because they've been dehumanised. It's time to take the humanity back into the center of the ring and follow that for a time. Greed, it ain't going anywhere. They should have that in a big billboard across Times Square. Without people you're nothing. That's my spiel.”
