About this audiobook
Amidst the sprawling anonymity of New York City, the lives of its "four million" inhabitants are revealed with startling intimacy and grace. These vignettes capture the aspirations of the shopgirl, the dreamer, and the laborer as they navigate the urban maze. The city is portrayed not as a cold backdrop, but as a vibrant participant in their small triumphs and tragedies. It is a definitive celebration of the human spirit thriving in the heart of the modern metropolis.
