Quote from this book "Later I would think of America as one vast City of Night stretching gaudily from Times Square to Hollywood Boulevard - jukebox-winking, rock-n-roll-moaning: America at night fusing its darkcities into the unmistakable shape of loneliness. Remember Pershing Square and the apathetic palmtrees, Central Park and the frantic shadow. Movie theaters in the angry morning-hours. And wounded Chicago streets. . . . Horrormovie courtyards in the French Quarter - tawdry Mardi Gras floats with clowns tossing out glass beads, passing dumbly like life itself. . . . Remember rock-n-roll sexmusic blasting from jukeboxes leering obscenely, blinking manycolored along the streets of America strung like a cheap necklace from 42nd Street to Market Street, San Francisco. . . ." opening paragraphs, spelling and ellipsis as in original Secondhand booksellers |
