Chosen by <i>The New York Times</i> as one of the ten best books ever written about the city. <P> In the summer of 1949, E.B. White sat in a New York City hotel room and, sweltering in the summer heat, wrote a remarkable, pristine essay, <i>Here Is New York</i>. 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. Like most of White’s prose (his essays, his "Talk of the Town" columns, <i>The Elements of Style</i>), this book is of modest length. Yet, like <i>Charlotte’s Web</i>, it speaks more eloquently about what lasts and what really matters than other, more expansive pieces. <i>The New York Times</i> has chosen <i>Here Is New York</i> as one of the ten best books ever written about the grand metropolis. <i>The New Yorker</i> calls it "the wittiest essay, and one of the most perceptive, ever done on the city." This edition of <i>Here Is New York</i> marks the 100th anniversary of E.B. White’s birth, and appears with a new introduction by Roger Angell.
