Those books were mine: the one I’d written and the one I was almost finished writing. They were mine, more than anything else had ever been, those preposterous books, riddled with clichés and inconsistencies. I had written them and they belonged to me, and they were all I had.

I fled out of the park, toward home. On the island in the middle of Broadway was the person who had shouted and gestured at me earlier. He had taken off his blanket, revealing himself to be a black man with a grizzled white head and a broad, wrinkled, plum-colored face. He was doing a sort of dance, flapping his arms and rushing at the pigeons who fluttered around him; they lifted off and alit nervously a few feet away every time he charged at them, but they stayed near him, waiting for his next move as if the whole thing had been choreographed. Then I realized that his hands were full of crumbs, and that they were enduring his fearsome dance because he was feeding them.
