White's wisest and wittiest homages to his beloved, bedeviled, beguiling New York City.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor more than fifty years at The New Yorker, E. B. White came to define the ideal American prose: clear, casual, democratic, and urbane. While his classic Here Is New York captured a specific moment in the life of Manhattan, New York Sketches, the first collection of his casual pieces about the city, offers a more intimate and playful look at the city's everyday enchantments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere White ranges at whim from the nesting habits of pigeons to the behavior of snails in aquariums, from the ghosts of old romance that haunt a fire escape or flower shop to the bustle of a calculator trade show on Eighth Avenue. These sketches, some less than a page long, many written for a laugh or in response to the news of the day, show us White at his most sprightly and inventive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNewly presented in a beautiful, pocket-sized hardcover gift edition, New York Sketches is a diversion for every New Yorker—native, adoptive, aspiring, or far from home—and a perfect introduction to what White called \"the inscrutable and lovely town.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McNally Jackson Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49140440432875,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":40.28,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/zh\/products\/9781968671396","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
