From the wisecracking Broadway guys and dolls of Damon Runyon to the glittering ballrooms of Edith Wharton, from the jazz-soaked nightspots of Jack Kerouac and James Baldwin to the starry-eyed tourists in John Cheever and Shirley Jackson, to the ambitious immigrants conjured by Edwidge Danticat and Junot Diaz--this is New York in all its grittiness and glamour. Here is the hectic, dazzling chaos of Times Square and the elegant calm of galleries in the Met; we meet Yiddish matchmakers in the Bronx, Haitian nannies in Central Park, starving artists, and hedonistic yuppies--a host of vivid characters nursing their dreams in the tiny apartments, the lonely caf駸, and the bustling streets of the city that never sleeps. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eIncludes: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - \"New York Night Club\" by Jack Kerouac \u003cbr\u003e - \"Pillar of Salt\" by Shirley Jackson\u003cbr\u003e - \"O City of Broken Dreams\" by John Cheever\u003cbr\u003e - \"Master Misery\" by Truman Capote\u003cbr\u003e - \"Paul's Case\" by Willa Cather\u003cbr\u003e - \"A Cup of Water\" by Edith Wharton\u003cbr\u003e - \"Sonny's Blues\" by James Baldwin\u003cbr\u003e - \"It's Six A.M.
