ISBN:  9780676978285 (hc.) Description:  253 p. ; 25 cm. Summary:  "A vivid memoir that captures the energy, ambition, and romance of New York in the 80s from the beloved New Yorker writer. When Adam Gopnik and his soon-to-be-wife Martha Parker left the comforts of home in Montreal for New York, the city then, much like today, was a pilgrimage site for the young and the arty and ambitious. But it was also becoming a city of greed, where both life's consolations and its necessities were increasingly going to the highest bidder. A portrait of this moment in New York through the story of their journey - from their excited arrival as aspiring artists to their eventual growth into a New York family. Gopnik transports us to their tiny basement room on the Upper East Side - the smallest apartment in Manhattan - and later to SoHo, where he captures a unicorn: an affordable New York loft. Between tender, laugh-out-loud reminiscences, including affectionate portraits of New York luminaries from Richard Avedon to Robert Hughes and Jeff Koons, Gopnik takes us into the corridors of Condé Nast, the galleries of MoMA and many places between to illuminate the fascinating world capital of creativity and aspiration that is New York, then and now."--Provided by publisher. "Born in Philadelphia and raised in Montreal, Adam Gopnik is an American writer and essayist. He is best known as a staff writer for The New Yorker - to which he has contributed non-fiction, fiction, memoir and criticism - and as the author of Paris to the Moon, an account of five years that Gopnik, his wife Martha, and son Luke spent in the French capital"--From wikipedia.org website.
