Life is lived between the checklists
Parade of Streetlights is a captivating exploration of the millennial experience.

Within the course of a year, Kola explores his adopted home of New York City and all aspects of his world with candor and humor. Kola is both self-conscious and observant as he encounters people on the streets of NYC and constantly struggles with the idea of what it means to be himself.
A quarterlife manifesto for the modern malaise
