In the early 1970s, the writer Ian Frazier left a small town in Ohio to move to a loft in lower Manhattan. ” Gone to New York” is Frazier`s account of the city over the thirty years he`s lived there, a book as full of vitality & charm as the city it describes. It features street scenes from every corner of the metropolis, where every block is an event & where the denizens are larger than life.
