It wasn’t until I got to New York that I became Kansan.

Everyone there kept reminding me that they were Jewish

or Irish, or whatever, so I kept reminding them that I was

Midwestern. Before I knew it, I actually began to brag

about being from Kansas!

—William Inge (1941)� � �

To the visiting non-competitive European all is unending

delight . . . where every language is spoken and

xenophobia almost unknown, where every purse and

appetite is catered for.

—Cyril Connolly (1947)� � �

At Times Square, awash in light, waterfalls and rivers of

light, news running around buildings in light, we stared in

rapture at a giant woman, her head fl ung back, a Camel

tilted in her fi ngers, giant rings of smoke puffi ng from her

mouth more miraculously than water struck from a rock.

—Michele Landsberg (c. 1950)
