“Up in the Air” author Walter Kirn, “Absurdistan” author and travel writer Gary Shteyngart, and author of more books than some people will ever read, Joyce Carol Oates, had the following exchange on Twitter this morning. If you’ve ever traveled through New York’s Penn Station, the sentiments might feel familiar.
@walterkirn Penn Station no more labyrinthine or forbidding than life, once you've memorized your unvarying route. Only tourists “see.”

@Shteyngart @walterkirn “I use it all the time with great fear”–very sensible motto for Life.

How can New York change Penn Station? Teams of architects are on the case.
