THREE THOUSAND miles away from the New Jersey strip club where X was passing through a womb of life he had never passed through before–molting his suaveness in exchange for a mantle of comforting defeat (“It’s all out of my hands now” he thought to himself as he drove home with Katrina)–a different evening [...]
