I read the article about your book in WSJ. I say that you are just a meloncholy writer who is broke and miserable and works in a coffee shop, and your book probably just conveys your emo meloncholy sentiment towards everything. "There are plenty of things that are legitimately great about New York. Our point is that there are plenty of good things about a lot of places." - sounds like a meaningless statement to me. Do you genuinely feel this way about New York? Has your english-major self-pity uber-skeptic philosophy grown to the point where you actually felt SO mediocre about New York to the point of writing a book about it? I'm a native new yorker, have lived here my whole life, and will probably stay here until I die; and this is really offensive to me that you didnt even grow up here and you wrote a book about how my city is mediocre. What gives you the right? My twitter handle is BYRON_W, and I would appreciate an answer, you emo son of a bitch. — Asked by Anonymous
