Title Description
From the New York Times bestelling author of A DRINKING LIFE, SNOW IN AUGUST, and FOREVER, comes a rich historical and personal portrait about Manhattan, the keystone of New York City. During his 40 years as a newspaperman, Pete Hamill has been getting to know Manhattan's neighborhoods and inhabitants intimately, witnessing their triumphs as well as tragedies. From the remnants of the British colony, the mansions of the robber barons, to the winding, bohemian streets of Greenwich village and the weathered cobblestones of South Street Seaport, Hamill looks at the history to reveal the city's past, present, and future. More than just a reportage, this is an elegy by a native son who has lived through some of New York's most historic moments.
