In a dazzlingly original work of nonfiction, the Pulitzer-Prize winning author of The Underground Railroad recreates the exuberance, the chaos, the promise, and the heartbreak of New York. Here is a literary love song that will entrance anyone who has lived in--or spent time--in the greatest of American cities.A masterful evocation of the city that never sleeps, The Colossus of New York captures the city's inner and outer landscapes in a series of vignettes, meditations, and personal memories. Colson Whitehead conveys with almost uncanny immediacy the feelings and thoughts of longtime residents and of newcomers who dream of making it their home; of those who have conquered its challenges; and of those who struggle against its cruelties. Whitehead's style is as multilayered and multifarious as New York itself: Switching from third person, to first person, to second person, he weaves individual voices into a jazzy musical composition that perfectly reflects the way we experience the city. There is a funny, knowing riff on what it feels like to arrive in New York for the first time; a lyrical meditation on how the city is transformed by an unexpected rain shower; and a wry look at the ferocious battle that is commuting. The plaintive notes of the lonely and dispossessed resound in one passage, while another captures those magical moments when the city seems to be talking directly to you, inviting you to become one with its rhythms. The Colossus of New York is a remarkable portrait of life in the big city. Ambitious in scope, gemlike in its details, it is at once an unparalleled tribute to New York and the ideal introduction to one of the most exciting writers working today.

Not the best of scents for an RV Toilet Tank
Scent: Lavender, Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
I don't know why I thought the scent of lavender would be great for my black water holding tank, but it's not. I'm sorry to say that I will have to return it. There's 30 Camco toilet π½ treatment packets in this container. All you have to do is just drop one of these packets into the toilet and flush it down into the holding tank. I am not saying that this product is not good; I'm saying that I will have to exchange it for a different scent. I won't know until I try a different scent, because I might be allergic to Camco's RV Toilet Treatment Drop-ins. The lavender scent put out such a bad smell, I couldn't breathe all night last night. I had to keep filling up my tank, waiting for awhile, and then dumping it all out. I had to keep doing that till the bad smell went away. So I'm gonna give Camco another chance, and try a different scent, and just go from there. I should have known better than to use a toilet treatment that had a perfume scent. I'm allergic to fragrant's, I have to use fragrance free laundry soap.

Solid, Reliable, and Makes the Gross Job Way Easier
Style: 20' Rhino Sewer Hose
Solid, Reliable, and Makes the Gross Job Way Easier
This is hands-down the best sewer hose kit Iβve used. Itβs sturdy, easy to connect, and doesnβt feel flimsy like some of the cheaper ones. The clear elbow is a lifesaver because you can actually SEE when everything is done (which every RVer knows matters). The hose holds its shape, stretches exactly as needed, and packs up neatly. If youβre full-time or travel often, this is the one you want.

Worth the money. Get it.
Style: 20' Rhino Sewer Hose
I am a full time RV'er and these are the best hoses I have worked with. At this point I just do not buy anything else unless I have no choice. Yes, everything fails over time but these last the longest. If you want solid equipment you just don't have to worry about, get these hoses.
