"For New York-ophiles who want a lively distillation of their city in holiday-wrapped form, it's hard to ask for a handsomer album than New York: Portrait of a City... The photographs capture the city's zaniness, raffishness and panache - the cover has crimson and black high heels kicking up against a gray skyline. And the book is delightfully accented with quotations from writers dazzled or dismayed by the city - Wharton, Fitzgerald, Salinger, Ellison, Bellow - and homage paid by composers and moviemakers... the photographs evoke not just the city's energy - as Golden observes, 'the ambitious, the visionary and the opportunistic' are 'part of the city's DNA' - but its haunting fragmentation."— New York Times, New York, United States
