Reviews
"New York Nightis an amazing tour de force that dazzlingly redefines a city that I thought I knew so well. Mark Caldwell has made me keenly aware that I live in two different cities, and the nocturnal one is much more exciting!"--Grammy Award-winning singer and pianist Michael Feinstein, "The magic of this book-the author's painterly way with light, the indelible images he conjures-lingers on like a Cole Porter melody, constantly shifting from dark to light, from major to minor keys. Mark Caldwell has an extraordinary gift for bringing the legendary and the obscure characters of night-time New York to life. As I read his book, it made me giddy to think I'm one of those fools who've made it their mission to keep the magic of the New York night alive."--Mary Cleere Haran, acclaimed cabaret singer

Synopsis
Down winding tunnels and across gritty subway platforms, through her writing, both gritty and raw, Kole introduces an unforgettable cast of characters in a world that millions pass through, but few know well. The chapters are informal, intimate diary entries, jotted down at midnight after long sessions underground.

- v***v (2098)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good.
