B. White's greatest stories, asides, essays, jokes, and tall tales about the city he arguably saw clearest, loved best, and skewered most mercilessly.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver more than fifty years at the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, E. B. White came to define a kind of ideal American prose: clear, casual, democratic, and urbane. He also did more than any writer to define his favorite city. His classic \u003ci\u003eHere Is New York\u003c\/i\u003e captured a moment in the life of Manhattan with precision and love  but his was no fleeting infatuation. In \u003ci\u003eNew York Sketches\u003c\/i\u003e, the first collection of his casual pieces about the city, White ranges at whim from the nesting habits of pigeons to the aisles of a calculator trade-show on Eighth Avenue, from the behaviour of snails in aquariums to the ghosts of old romance that haunt a flower shop or a fire escape or an old hotel. 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 playful and inventive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Sketches\u003c\/i\u003e is a welcome diversion for every New Yorker  native, adoptive, or far from home  and a perfect introduction, not only to what White called 'the inscrutable and lovely town,' but to the everyday enchantments of one of her fondest reporters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46688058376350,"sku":"ADS-9781946022738","price":32.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781946022738.jpg?v=1775631496","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781946022738","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
