B. Whites greatest stories, asides, essays, jokes, and tall tales about the city he arguably saw clearest, loved best, and skewered most mercilessly.</strong></p><p>Over more than fifty years at the <em>New Yorker</em>, 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 <em>Here Is New York</em> captured a moment in the life of Manhattan with precision and lovebut his was no fleeting infatuation. In <em>New York Sketches</em>, 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 behavior 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.</p><p><em>New York Sketches</em> is a welcome diversion for every New Yorkernative, adoptive, or far from homeand 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.</p>...6756868New York Sketches190232https://www.gandhi.com.mx/new-york-sketches-9781946022745/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6650429/image.jpg?v=638672278849530000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249781946022745_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_<p><strong>E.
