“Letter From Brooklyn” was a series of columns that I wrote for New York Newcomer web magazine upon first moving to New York City and between June, 2003 and May, 2004. The pieces cover a year spent living in four different sublet apartments in both Brooklyn and Manhattan. Following this I lived in Scotland for a few months before returning to New York City and two more sublets. This perpetual moving may have had something to do with personal issues involving commitment, but I prefer to view it as a vain and futile attempt to beat death. In either event, it did produce some writing. The columns are listed below in chronological order.
