Writing New York

Meer over het boek

Few cities have inspired as much great writing as New York. Here, a sweeping literary portrait of the city is presented through the eyes of over a hundred writers. Residents and tourists, novelists and poets, architects, politicians, social reformers, naturalists, humorists—in unexpected and dazzling ways, the writers in this volume take on the challenge of capturing New York's enduring spirit, its constantly changing public spectacle, its gossip, amusements, hard-luck stories, and tragedies.
