Nonstop Metropolis: A New York City Atlas Paperback - 2016
by Rebecca Solnit; Joshua Jelly-Schapiro
From the rear cover
"I am thrilled to have another book-object in this series, as I devoured the San Francisco volume when I was there, and the New Orleans one likewise. Now finally here is one about the town where I live. The format, with the maps, networks, and accompanying stories and histories, is a lovely, nonlinear way of mirroring the almost infinite layers that make up a city. We all have our own mental maps of our cities and the ones we visit--maps that are, like the ones here, historical, musical, temporal, personal, economic, and geographical. The maps in Nonstop Metropolis are a good approximation of how we New Yorkers experience and perceive the city we live in."--David Byrne "Put your map apps and your GPS away, because none of those high-tech innovations will lead you to the immense satisfaction that this hard-to-put-down book is full of. The unique, clever, and artistic maps give you the who, what, when, and, most importantly, where of loads of unusual and little-known New York City histories. As a New York City native I finally have all the maps I need to the treasures and secrets of my hometown."--Fab 5 Freddy "A new way to think about the cultural and political life of cities."--Randy Kennedy, New York Times "Solnit, well known for her writing on politics, art and feminism, has turned her attention to New York City's complexities in Nonstop Metropolis, the third of her trilogy of atlases and accompanying exhibitions."--Alex Rayner, The Guardian Selected praise for Infinite City and Unfathomable City "A deeply illuminating assemblage of maps and essays."--Lynell George, Chicago Tribune "Inventive and affectionate."--Lise Funderburg, New York Times Book Review "Brilliantly disorients our native sense of place."--Jonathon Keats, San Francisco Magazine "With Unfathomable City, Solnit and Snedeker have produced an idiosyncratic, luminous tribute to the greatest human creation defined by its audience participants: the city itself."--Daniel Brook, New York Times
