Book description
Dear Journal,
June 12, 2024
Just finished The City We Became on audiobook-couldn't stop the subway ride home.
N.K. Jemisin's voice in the narration? Pure New York. Not the glossy postcard version, but the messy, breathing, alive one. She doesn't just tell you NYC has a soul-she makes you feel it in your bones. Like when she describes the subway as "the city's pulse," and the audiobook's sound design drops in the rumble of a train beneath the words. Chills.
The five protectors-Janet, a historian; Ben, a subway worker; a drag queen; a tech bro; a writer-they're not superheroes. They're us. The kind of people you pass on the street, arguing over coffee, late for work. Jemisin writes them with such warmth, you'll find yourself rooting for them like old friends. And the audiobook? The narrator nails their voices-Janet's quiet strength, Ben's easy humor, the drag queen's sharp wit. You don't just hear them; you know them.
The evil lurking beneath the city? It's not some cartoon villain. It's the slow rot of gentrification, of losing history, of forgetting what makes a place yours. Jemisin makes it terrifyingly real. And the audiobook's pacing? Perfect. Short, urgent chapters that leave you desperate to press play again.
I drove home listening, and for the first time, the city felt different. Not just a backdrop, but a character. The traffic noise, the street vendors, even the sirens-they all had a rhythm, like the city was talking back.
This isn't just a book about saving a city. It's about remembering why you love yours. And Jemisin? She doesn't just write it-she makes you hear it.
P.S. I'm listening to the sequel already. Just... don't tell my commute time.
