Writing New York, A Literary Anthology

Writing New York, A Literary Anthology

by Philip Lopate (Editor)

  • LITERATURE
  • 2007
  • PAPER
  • 1150 PAGES

The Library of America and Philip Lopate have done a splendid (if daunting!) job of collecting writing about New York from throughout its history. A massive book, yet a pleasure to dip into. Represented are Whitman, Edith Wharton, Henry Miller and many more. If you already love New York, this book is like candy; if you're wondering what all the fuss is about, here's a great place to start.  (NYC59, $24.95)
