Chuck Klosterman writes a funny and true essay in the NYT about his experiences as a new New Yorker.
Everyone Knows This Is Somewhere
In the 10 months I’ve been here, I have learned only one thing: Absolutely everything is no longer relevant. Every rock band, every film, every book, every restaurant, every street, every emotion, every newborn baby, every religion, every species of antelope, every over-the-counter cough medication, every style of affordable trousers and every future moment is completely over. Moreover, I fully realize that pointing out how “everything is over” is also over, so this essay is completely tired and clichÔø?d. It was over before I started.
