New York: True North

Fülszöveg

"NSTV YORK CITY is the true north of the world, the focal -point of industry and finance, art and entertainment and communications, an accumulation of things, people, and meanings so vast and compelling that anij degree of sophistication, innocence of love or hatred, any frame of reference, is too inadequate and too narrow to scale it to size. New York has to be grasped humbly, exultantly, even with dislike. . . . It is the pulse by which the heartbeat of the ivorld is measured."

NEW YORK: TRUE NORTH
[771 GILBERT MILLSTEIN & [_JSAM FALK, photographer
New York City is revealed as a great deal more than a nice place to visit or live in this stunning testament—by a gifted, thoughtful writer and a sensitive, talented photographer—of its feel, its atmosphere, and its life. Sam Falk's two hundred splendid photographs show the usual New York and an unusual New York. Gilbert Millstein and his "Witnesses" convey precisely what it is like to live in, to work in, to be in this intense and diversified city.
In capturing much of the compass and complexity of New York, Messrs. Millstein and Falk communicate a feeling of their own excitement and respect for the city. But New York: True North is not an unabashed love letter—it is a book that is unsentimental, unsparing, awake to the innuendo and possibilities of New York's existence. This is a bittersweet revelation, a portrait of a city's essence . . . one of the finest books about New York City that you will ever own.
