The Enemy is some sort of Eldrich abomination only he can see or sense, which gives credence to the theory that the protagonist is suffering from schizophrenia and his delusions manifest in extreme paranoia, which includes seeing (white) policemen as the pseudopods of Yog-Sototh while in truth he is just being abused by an old man who gives him sandwiches in exchange for sex.
The story is about a young (the age is not specified) black, gay, and homeless ¿boy? who yells at buildings and his relationship with an older, chain-smoking mentor who spouts cryptic shit and tells him he is the Chosen One and how The Enemy is ready to destroy New York City. The Hugo Awards are the highest honor than can be bestowed to a science fiction or fantasy author.
“ The City Born Great” is one the finalists for this year (2017) Hugo Awards in the short story category.
