AleXander Hirka. Writer, visual artist, philosopher, autodidact, curmudgeon. A blog begun upon returning home to NYC in 2010, after two decades away. Observations focused on Brooklyn the first two years, then extending from a new home in Harlem to all of Manhattan and beyond ~ from right outside my door to deep inside my head. My stories (fiction and life), art, photography, and more. Come on in.

Meanwhile the "holiday" mad/mass consumption is in full swing - and I haven't seen as many homeless and drug addled begging in the streets since New York's Sensational 70s.
