This is a story about a two week period during which I was homeless in NYC. During this period I worked with hatian immigrants at a perfume factory and spent my nights riding the subways and wandering the streets of the city.

Review of two weeks to kill
What more can I say beyond the fact that I couldn't stop listening. So unpredictable and I just had to know where the streets and his conscious would ultimately take him. And the weird twist involving the woman from Taiwan.
Descriptive to the point that I could see and smell the locations and delivered in a relaxed, authentic voice.
He didn't offer any solutions or have an epiphany but he was compassionate, respectful and likeable.
