New York: building itself up out of its own disintegration, its inevitable destiny as the city for everyone, energetic, tireless, brutal, murderous city of the entire world, where we all recognize ourselves and see our worst and our best.

In the original Spanish

Nueva York construyéndose a sí misma a partir de su desintegración, su inevitable destino como ciudad de todos, enérgica, incansable, brutal, asesina ciudad del mundo entero, donde todos podemos reconocernos y ver lo peor y lo mejor de nosotros mismos.
