It has convinced generation after generation of dreamers to hitch their fantasies to its possibility and grandeur--the consummate American success story. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut what's it like to actually live there?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this playful, perceptive guide to the place's mythology and mundanities alike, celebrated novelist Catherine Lacey brings her signature clarity to a place that thrives on attention but resists easy understanding. Her New York moves through neighborhoods and among landmarks, exploring the city and its peculiar social grammar: how complaining breeds intimacy, how eccentricity ages into charm, and why leaving is rarely as simple as it seems. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSharp and intimate, Lacey's New York is attuned to the many ways the city is lived, imagined, and performed: a clear-eyed valentine to a place continually made and remade by the people who move through it every day.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart of Travel with a Writer, The Walking Tree's global literary travel series pairing acclaimed writers with the cities and places they know intimately.
