Before I depart New York, my editor takes me to lunch at the Monkey Bar. I become uncomfortable with the stares of the men in the four-figure suits, to say nothing of their companions: women apparently obtained on lease from some photo shoot intended to advertise a perfume the scent of which I can never quite place, although I suspect it is bottled in a slim decanter of frosted glass to which is affixed an embossed platinum label reading Utterly Unattainable, Homeboy. We were having the Roast Butternut Squash Soup and Seared Rare Tuna on a Bed of Steamed Spinach with Shaved Ginger and Plum Sauce. “Don’t worry,” my editor said to me sitting there in my Kmart socks and overworn T-shirt. “You’ve got it backwards. They’re all trying to figure out just Who You Are that you got in here dressed like that. Act like you’re Bruce Springsteen’s favorite roadie.” Sometimes these big-city people can be down home in ways that shame all your burnished small-town fables.
