Here is New York
ByPublisher Description
In the summer of 1948, E.B. White sat in a New York City hotel room and, sweltering in the heat, wrote a remarkable pristine essay, Here is New York. Perceptive, funny, and nostalgic, the author’s stroll around Manhattan—with the reader arm-in-arm—remains the quintessential love letter to the city, written by one of America’s foremost literary figures. Here is New York has been chosen by The New York Times as one of the ten best books ever written about the city. The New Yorker calls it “the wittiest essay, and one of the most perceptive, ever done on the city.”

“two crazy things about this essay: 1) his eerily accurate conceptualisation of a disaster on par with 9/11 42 years before it happened and 2) this guy also wrote charlotte’s web like talk about the duality of man. anyway thoroughly enjoyed this it was so insightful and he has such a remarkable and poetic way of writing.”
