This book is similar in several respects to its predecessor, "Goodbye to All That: Writers on Loving and Leaving New York", save for the fact that in the former book, the reader is treated to the perspectives (in essay form) of BOTH men and women writers, actors, and artists who have made New York City their home. Readers who have either - like me - spent time in New York over the years, be it as visitors or residents, OR have come to love the city from afar without having experienced it first-hand, will enjoy this book.
