Wonderful Town: New York Stories from The New Yorker, Hörbuch, Digital, 560min

New York City is not only The New Yorker magazine's place of origin and its sensibility's lifeblood, it is the heart of American literary culture. Wonderful Town, an anthology of superb short fiction by many of the magazine's most accomplished contributors, celebrates the 75-year marriage between a preeminent publication and its preeminent context with this collection of 44 of its best stories from (so to speak) home.East Side? Philip Roth's chronically tormented alter ego, Nathan Zuckerman, has just moved there, in "Smart Money". West Side? Isaac Bashevis Singer's narrator mingles with the customers in "The Cafeteria" (who debate politics and culture in four or five different languages) and becomes embroiled in an obsessional romance. And downtown, John Updike's Maples have begun their courtship of marital disaster, in "Snowing in Greenwich Village".Wonderful Town touches on some of the city's famous places and stops at some of its more obscure corners, but the real guidebook in and between its lines is to the hearts and the minds of those who populate the metropolis built by its words. Like all good fiction, these stories take particular places, particular people, and particular events and turn them into dramas of universal enlightenment and emotional impact. Each life in it, and each life in Wonderful Town, is the life of us all.Including these stories from the magazine's most iconic writers:"The Five-Forty-Eight" by John Cheever"Distant Music" by Ann Beattle"Sailor off the Bremen" by Irwin Shaw"Physics" by Tama Janowitz"The Whore of Mensa" by Woody Allen"What It Was Like, Seeing Chris" by Deborah Eisenberg"Drawing Room B" by John O’Hara"A Sentimental Journey" by Peter Taylor"The Balloon" by Donald Barthelme"Another Marvelous Thing" by Laurie Colwin"The Failure" by Jonathan Franzen"Apartment Hotel Language: English.
