I loved that book, and when I was done I wanted to travel to New York and wander around the city in awe. Wrapped into a story of eminently readable mystery and fantasy, it is basically a history of New York City. New York is a massive, epic novel, some 860 pages long with fairly small print not a book you can read quickly on a plane ride or in an evening.Ī few years ago I read the novel Forever by Pete Hamill. I am almost overwhelmed with the number of thoughts bouncing through my head as I think about it now that I am done. Seldom, very seldom, when I am done with a book I am compelled to go back through it, conduct my own background research, or thumb through the book for specific passages. It draws you in and makes you a part of it. “New York: The Novel” is not just a book – it’s an experience.
