"New York is the plural city par excellence, the place of many tales. This collection gives us a new luxuriance of New York stories with the spice and eccentricity and energy that New Yorkers
will recognize as ours and non-New Yorkers may wish was theirs." Adam Gopnik, author of Through the Children's Gate: A Home in New York
"The City section was an invaluable counterpoint, almost a stowaway, on the cruise liner of the Sunday New York Times. It delivered the news that stays news---indelible and intimate stories of
city life, by turns disturbing, amusing, and enchanting. Reading them again was like bumping into old friends." Thomas Beller, author of The Sleep-Over Artist and How to be a Man
What do Francine Prose, Suketu Mehta, and Edwidge Danticat have in common? Each suffers from an incurable love affair with the Big Apple, and each has contributed to the canon of writing that
New York has inspired by way of the New York Times City section, a part of the paper that once defined Sunday afternoon leisure for residents of the five boroughs.
The fifty essays in More New York Stories unite some of the city's best-known writers to provide a window into the bustle and richness of city life. The contributors, including Colin Harrison,
Kevin Baker, Nathaniel Rich, Christopher Sorrentino, Robert Sullivan, Jonathan Rosen, Laura Shaine Cunningham, Dorothy Gallagher, and Frances Kiernan, are among the most eloquent observers of
our urban life. The result is a comprehensive and entertaining picture of New York in all its many guises.
Delightful for dipping into and a great companion for anyone planning a trip, this collection is both a heart-warming introduction to the human side of New York and a reminder to life-long New
Yorkers of the reasons we call the city home.
