Every returning New Yorker asks the question: Is this still my city? I have a ready answer, cloaked in obstinate despair: It is. And if it's not, I will love it all the more. I will love it to the point where it becomes mine again.

Then I celebrated my Wall of Books. I counted the volumes on my twenty-foot-long modernist bookshelf to make sure none had been misplaced or used as kindling by my subtenant. You're my sacred ones, I told the books. No one but me still cares about you. But I'm going to keep you with me forever. And one day I'll make you important again. I thought about that terrible calumny of the new generation: that books smell.
