What Heaven Knows What is

You wake on a New York sidewalk with a habit and a phone number scrawled on your palm. The dial tone answers before you do. Then the city starts calling in favors—overdue nods, small jobs, stray kindnesses. The Safdies frame the street’s unrelenting pulse as your only reliable narrator.
