New Yorkers: A City and Its People in Our Time
TerrorBlackoutHurricane RecessionPandemicA symphony of contemporary New York told through the magnificent words of its people – from the best-selling author of Londoners.In the first twenty years of the twenty-first century, New York City has been convulsed by terrorist attack, blackout, hurricane, recession, social injustice, and pandemic. New Yorkers weaves the voices of some of the city`s best talkers into an indelible portrait of New York in our time – and a powerful hymn to the vitality and resilience of its people. Vibrant and bursting with life, New Yorkers explores the nonstop hustle to make it; the pressures on new immigrants, people of colour, and the poor. It captures the strength of an irrepressible city that – no matter what it goes through – dares call itself the greatest in the world. Drawn from millions of words, hundreds of interviews, and six years in the making, New Yorkers is a grand portrait of an irrepressible city and a hymn to the vitality and resilience of its people.
