Excerpt from Celibacy: A Novel
New York City lay baked, hot and moistless, under the torrid rays of an early summer sun.
During the past three weeks no rain had fallen. The sprinkling wagons had been working overtime, reinforced by those of private concerns, endeavoring to cool the streets and thoroughfares.
The temperature had mounted higher by jumps every day, and the Official Weather Forecast gave no hope of change or relief. Many were overcome in the streets.
