Author, social critic and "New York City's career elegist" (The New
York Times), Jeremiah Moss felt alienated in a town that had become
suburbanised and sanitised. Then lockdown launched an unprecedented
urban experiment: What happens when an entire social class abandons
the city? In the streets made vibrant by New Yorkers left behind,
Moss found a sense of freedom he never thought possible.
Participating in a historic explosion of protest, resistance and
spontaneity. From queer BLM marches to exuberant outdoor dance
parties, he discovers that, without "hyper-normal" people to
constrain it, New York can be more creative, connected, humane and
joyful. In this genre-bending work of "autotheory", Moss gives an
account of his renewed sense of place as a transgender man,
braiding the narrative with psychoanalysis, literature and queer
theory, as he offers valuable insight into the way public space-and
the spaces inside us-are controlled and can be set free.
