A collective valentine to the city.
Never Can Say Goodbye
Writers on Their Unshakable Love for New York
Description
From the editor of the celebrated anthology Goodbye to All That: Writers on Loving and Leaving New York, comes a new collection of original essays on what keeps writers tethered to New York City.
The “charming” (The New York Times) first anthology Goodbye to All That—inspired by Joan Didion’s classic essay about loving and leaving Manhattan—chronicled the difficulties and disappointments inherent in loving New York, while Never Can Say Goodbye is a celebration of the city that never sleeps, in the tradition of E.B. White’s classic essay, “Here Is New York.”
Featuring contributions from such luminaries as Elizabeth Gilbert, Susan Orlean, Nick Flynn, Adelle Waldman, Phillip Lopate, Owen King, Amy Sohn, and many others, this collection of essays is a must-have for every lover of New York—regardless of whether or not you call the Big Apple home.
Reviews
A collection of personal musings that evince a devotion to New York even as the writers reflect on the reality of being a New Yorker.”
"Extremely addictive, this anthology is the perfect subway read—or the perfect book to read while imagining reading on the subway."—Library Journal
“Captures stalwart New Yorkers’ love/hate relationship with the world's most seductively dysfunctional town. There may be no better read to pass your wait for that next damned G train.” —Will Hermes, author of Love Goes To Buildings On Fire
