B. White came to define the ideal American prose: clear, casual, democratic, and urbane. While his classic Here Is New York captured a specific moment in the life of Manhattan, New York Sketches, the first collection of his casual pieces about the city, offers a more intimate and playful look at the city's everyday enchantments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere White ranges at whim from the nesting habits of pigeons to the behavior of snails in aquariums, from the ghosts of old romance that haunt a fire escape or flower shop to the bustle of a calculator trade show on Eighth Avenue. These sketches, some less than a page long, many written for a laugh or in response to the news of the day, show us White at his most sprightly and inventive.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNewly presented in a beautiful, pocket-sized hardcover gift edition, \u003ci\u003eNew York Sketches\u003c\/i\u003e is a diversion for every New Yorker--native, adoptive, aspiring, or far from home--and a perfect introduction to what White called \"the inscrutable and lovely town.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e E.
