Here is New York

Elwyn Brooks White was a leading American essayist, author, humorist, poet and literary stylist and author of such beloved children's classics as Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little, and The Trumpet of the Swan. He graduated from Cornell University in 1921 and, five or six years later, joined the staff of The New Yorker magazine. He authored over seventeen books of prose and poetry and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1973.Funnily enough for such a famous writer, he always said that he found writing difficult and bad for one's disposition but he kept at it!Mr. White has won countless awards, including the 1971 National Medal for Literature and the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal, which commended him for making “a substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children.”

Perceptive, funny, and nostalgic, E.B. White's stroll around Manhattan remains the quintessential love letter to the city, written by one of America's foremost literary figures.

E.B. White's underground classic, and one of the most beautifully written, accurate portrayals of the world's most diverse and interesting city.

《GQ》“生活-LIFE”专栏 这半年里我喜欢的作家是E.B.怀特，闲来就翻翻他的书信集。他写的多半是在缅因州的农场里与15头羊、112只红母鸡、36只白岩母鸡、3只鹅、一条狗、一只雄猫、一头猪和一只笼鼠共度的日常生活。各种寻常小事他讲得温文尔雅，我读了之后，明白人家是真...

用户评价

Prosperity creates its bread lines, the same as depression.

commuters give the city its tidal restlessness. natives give it solidity and continuity; but the settlers give it passion.

White真的是會寫 也無愧於一個有情懷的作家 一番文字盡顯心意 。紐約 不免想望一個世界之都的模樣。BTW 讀散文 詞彙量不足真是硬傷啊……

great prose.

很多地方半个世纪后读起来还是觉得非常贴切，但是文艺界涉及到的好多人我都没看太懂。这个城市真的还有太多值得淘值得理解的东西。I heart NY。
