From the wisecracking Broadway guys and dolls of Damon Runyon to the glittering ballrooms of Edith Wharton, from the jazz- soaked nightspots of Jack Kerouac and James Baldwin to the starry- eyed tourists in John Cheever and Shirley Jackson to the ambitious immigrants conjured by Edwidge Danticat and Junot Diaz-- this is New York in all its grittiness and glamour. Here is the hectic, dazzling chaos of Times Square and the elegant calm of galleries in the Met; we meet Yiddish matchmakers in the Bronx, Haitian nannies in Central Park, starving artists, and hedonistic yuppies--a host of vivid characters nursing their dreams in the tiny apartments, the lonely cafés, and the bustling streets of the city that never sleeps.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Diana Secker Tesdell</b> is the editor of the Everyman's Pocket Classic anthologies <i>Christmas Stories, </i> <i>Love Stories, Dog Stories, Cat Stories, Horse Stories</i>, <i>New York Stories</i>, <i>Bedtime Stories, Stories of Art and Artists, Stories of Fatherhood</i>, <i>Stories of Motherhood, Stories of the Sea</i>, and <i>Stories from the Kitchen, </i>and of the Everyman's Library Pocket Poet <i>Lullabies and Poems for Children.</i></p>
