Up in the Old Hotel - Joseph Mitchell

Detalii:

Mitchell explored a New York City that has now vanished in his four books and his classic reportage for The New Yorker. Mitchells eccentrics live again in this omnibus volume that contains all of his books and several previously uncollected stories. n nSaloon-keepers and street preachers, gypsies and steel-walking Mohawks, a bearded lady and a 93-year-old seafoodetarian who believes his specialized diet will keep him alive for another two decades. These are among the people that Joseph Mitchell immortalized in his reportage for The New Yorker and in four books--McSorleys Wonderful Saloon, Old Mr. Flood, The Bottom of the Harbor, and Joe Goulds Secret--that are still renowned for their precise, respectful observation, their graveyard humor, and their offhand perfection of style.n n n nThese masterpieces (along with several previously uncollected stories) are available in one volume, which presents an indelible collective portrait of an unsuspected New York and its odder citizens--as depicted by one of the great writers of this or any other time.n
