Page Breaks: ‘Rain’ (Colson Whitehead) – 17 March

 

For this week’s Page Breaks, we’re reading an extract from Colson Whitehead’s The Colossus of New York. Thanks to Will Carroll for this suggestion!

‘This so-called cleansing leaves behind more than it washes away. But then few things are as advertised.’
