Status Updates From Por estas calles bravas

This book was a nice unintentional pairing with The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love, I love reading about NYC Spanish Harlem before whatever this transplant capitalist consumerism boom it is we have now (Great Acceleration? Anthropocene?), whatever you want to call it.
But I think Piri Thomas takes the cake for the NYC story of the summer, a memoir for me always wins.
