## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love It
*by N***T on November 12, 2021*

Love it. very enjoyable bite-size read

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved it!
*by U***S on January 15, 2018*

The selections from the 20s and 30s are the best

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Vignettes (examples of tight writing)
*by J***D on August 13, 2009*

I noticed that indeed the editor managed to cram in some of her own writings. A few of those are unremarkable compared to the others, but the selection overall is very good. There are tons of fantastic talk stories in terms of the way it is written and the `substance' of its subject and/or personalities discussed. The selection criteria seems more on the latter actually. Whether it's the visit of Dali in New York, encounter with Fellini, or autograph signing event by Gtde Stein, tou will catch a glimpse of the idiosyncraci... masterfully chronicled in under 1000ish words.And it takes very short time needed to digest and appreciate each piece. Each one can perhaps also be studied as specimen of very tightly edited pieces. The introduction is also fantastic as it is as a discussion of the magazine's history.Looking into the subjects of each short piece, you also get a glimpse at New York history within the context of personalities that visited or events that happened and caught the crosshairs of the magazine. Sometime the whole US history can also be put side by side... now with the reader now having the benefit of hindsight what happened to these persons afterwards.If I had a wish that is only partially fulfilled: I was actually hoping for some more humorous criticism and satires... there are only some mild ones. The tone of most articles lives on straight reportage.Now, there are better talk of the town pieces since its publication. We need a sequel. The book is fantastic, but it is already clamoring for a 2nd helping.
