New York has always been a parochial place, like all great cities, divided along ethnic and class lines. Little Italy, Chinatown, Hell’s Kitchen, the Upper East Side, the West Side and, of course, Harlem.

It had a lot to do with my friend Brett Easton Ellis’s American Psycho. His hero, Patrick Bateman, believed the Armani suit he wore had more reality than the person who wore it. Brett’s man was strange, but so were the yuppies he wrote about.
