Brooklyn Was Mine(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　Of all the urban landscapes in America, perhaps none has so
thoroughly infused and nurtured modern literature as Brooklyn.
Though its literary history runs deep-Walt Whitman, Truman Capote,
and Norman Mailer are just a few of its storied inhabitants-in
recent years the borough has seen a growing concentration of
bestselling novelists, memoirists, poets, and journalists. It has
become what Greenwich Village once was for an earlier generation: a
wellspring of inspiration and artistic expression.
　　Brooklyn Was Mine gives some of today’s best writers an
opportunity to pay tribute to the borough they love in 20 original
essays that draw on past and present to create a mosaic that
brilliantly captures the quality and diversity of a unique,
literary landscape.

　　Chris Knutsen, a senior editor at Vogue who’s also worked at
GQ, The New Yorker, and Riverhead Books, is the
co-editor of Committed: Men Tell Their Stories of Love,
Commitment, and Marriage.
　　Valerie Steiker, author of The Leopard Hat, is a senior
editor at Vogue and has worked at Artforum and The
New Yorker.
