LARGE SIZE HARD COVER WITH DUST JACKETA tale of two cities, both called 'New York'. The first is a real city, an urban agglomeration of millions. The second is a mythic city, so rich in memory and association and sense of place that to people everywhere it has come to seem real- the New York of films such as '42nd Street', 'Rear Window', 'Annie Hall', 'Taxi Driver' and 'Do the Right Thing'. This fascinating book examines how the real and mythic cities reflected, changed and taught each other.
