Publisher's Synopsis
In this work, Shaun Usher curates a collection of extraordinary written exchanges about the Big Apple, from the marvelling of wide-eyed newcomers and the devoted outpourings of native citizens, to the frustrated outcries of the dispossessed and the fond reminiscences of old-timers. The text includes letters by Italo Calvino, Ralph Ellison, Kahlil Gibran, Bianca Jagger, Helen Keller, Martin Scorsese, Saum Song Bo, Anaís Nin and many more.
