Queens

Queens is the easternmost and largest in area of the five boroughs of New York City, geographically adjacent to the borough of Brooklyn at the western end of Long Island. Coterminous with Queens County since 1899, the borough of Queens is the second-largest in population (behind Brooklyn), with a census-estimated 2,321,580 residents in 2014, approximately 48% of them foreign-born. Queens County is also the second-most populous county in New York, behind the neighboring borough of Brooklyn, which is coterminous with Kings County. Queens is the fourth-most densely populated county among New York City's boroughs, as well as in the United States. If each New York City borough were an independent city, Queens would also be the nation's fourth most populous city, after Los Angeles, Chicago and Brooklyn. Queens is the most ethnically diverse urban area in the world.

The differing character in the neighborhoods of Queens is reflected by its diverse housing stock ranging from high-rise apartment buildings, especially prominent in the more densely urban areas of western and central Queens, such as Jackson Heights, Flushing, Astoria, and Long Island City, to large, free-standing single-family homes, common in the eastern part of the borough, in neighborhoods that have a more suburban layout like neighboring Nassau County, such as Little Neck, Douglaston, and Bayside.

    Queens (novel)

    Queens is a novel, written in 1984 by an author under the apparent pseudonym "Pickles," which describes gay life in London. The author was Stephen Pickles, who at the time was working as an editor at Quartet Books, the publisher of the novel, with responsibility for its Encounters series.

    Style

    The novel is written in a variety of styles:third-person, omniscient narrator, overheard dialogue, and epistolary. In many ways the novel reads like journalism as it mentions numerous real-life bars, pubs, and cruising spots, as well as other less anecdotally gay parts of London. Heaven, the Coleherne, and The Bell on Pentonville Road are just three of the main gay locations mentioned in the novel. In some regards, due to the absurdist tone of the novel's overall narration it could be considered to be written in mockumentary style. The omniscient narrator appears to have a pessimistic and ultimately unamused opinion of the characters described which contributes greatly to the novel's comedic value.

    Rappiolla

    by: Kone Hassisen

    Sinä kuuntelet tv-tuolissas minun paskaista ääntäni
    Ja olet aivan liian laiska jotta kanavan toiselle kääntäisit
    Vaimollesi huudat: "Tuo sitä kaljaa! Eihän tätä kestä selvin päin"
    Huligaanit huutaa ja raggarit räyhää, elämä on muutenkin niin jäyhää
    CHORUS:
    Jos rappio on sitä että rakastaa,
    Ottaa hetkistä kii eikä tahdo tappaa
    On mukavaa olla rappiolla, olla vaan, täysi nolla
    Rappiolla on hyvä olla, ei huolet paina, ei rasitu polla
    Antaudu sinäkin suosiolla taikka anna meidän olla
    ÄO: ni on kuulemma normaalia parempi
    Miksi kouluja pelkään, olenko muita arempi?
    Vitut minä mikään viisas olen, tahdon elää vain kuin ihminen
    Päästä irti isoveli, kuule kutsua jumalten
