Author Kristopher Jansma talks to Electric Literature about his new novel, Why We Came to the City, and writing about the greatest city on Earth:
I realized what I can do is write about the New York I know. I can write about what it’s like to be a twentysomething young professional person bohemian-whatever, and I can write about that part of New York. Once it started to focus in that direction, I started hoping it would echo with anyone coming here from any neck of the woods.
