There was a lot mumbling and muttering (or whatever the equivalent is in written form) about NYC during the Das Boot section, and whether or not Jay would end up there next. Well, sure enough, in these pages we find out he did. This section takes up almost directly after leaving the boat, and tracks his efforts during the first months to navigate the city and find a job and, maybe, love. Continues for several months in this fashion.
Hello, NYC! (8/26)

Since Wednesday (now Monday) I have clocked: 7 ¾ hrs proofreading for Amsterdam News ($93?) and 29 hrs typing for Princeton Review ($435? Minus taxes?). Is it possible? Rolling in greenbacks. Of course, all this is highly theoretical at the moment, me having seen exactly zero of it. But, Friday, supposedly, I can go down and get my check from the paper, at least.
