Altogether the building could have been dreamed by a steroid-injected Yves Tanguy

(Jill Rapaport, Duchamp et Moi and Other Stories / A Green Light, page 81)

Well, some go even further than Jill: is Yves Tanguy a Dali on steroids, maybe? (Art Now and Then).

Now speaking a bit about Rapaport's A Green Light (Duchamp et Moi and Other Stories, page 77), it's there a Gothic fantasy, and an advancement of a horror story, and a bit of film noir, and some kind of botched sexual conquest with open ending,  and all this in a SoHo as dark and nightmarish as a steroid - injected Lucian Freud could be. It's New York at its best!
