"As Harlem, the perpetual work in progress, continues to change, it’s refreshing to revisit this book by my dear friend Brian Keith Jackson. The Queen of Harlem sets the stage of a neighborhood that was very familiar to me as I left Yale and discovered New York for the first time."

"I went to their show supporting this record at Webster Hall in New York, and Yoko Ono was there. Enough said. I couldn’t help but wonder if, had this record come out 10 years earlier, it would have given us a run for our money. It’s a whopper and hella refined."

"One of my favourite rewatches, a fantastic odyssey. It doesn't let up! I love stories that are just the passage of a group of people through a concentrated period of time and this is a strong dose of that. The gang costumes and the whole look of New York are incredible."

"As a recent New York transplant in her mid-twenties, Swift says Girls is like her Sex and the City. “I could label all my girlfriends as Shoshannas, Jessas, Marnies or Hannahs,” she says. And which would she be? “I’ve thought about this a lot,” she says. A pause. “I’m Shoshanna.”"

"A sociological study disguised as a crime novel, set in New York City. While reading this, I was completely submerged in his words, and this world. I didn’t want it to end. Richard is extraordinary with dialogue. The jigsaw of a narrative is as complex as the city it describes."
