New York City: A Cultural and Literary Companion

Homberger, who includes an introductory chapter musing on the effects to New York of 9/11, presents a cultural history of the city from its earliest times through the present. The lives of the immigrants, artists, musicians, poets, writers, and workers are written in terms of where and how they lived in the city, giving the reader a sense of the richness of history in these neighborhoods.
