First edition of Pete Hamill's The Invisible City: A New York Sketchbook; signed by him
First edition of the author's classic collection of sketches encapsulating the essence of New York. Octavo, original half cloth, illustrated with drawings by Susan Stillman. Signed by Pete Hamill on the title page. Fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket. Jacket design by Richard Adelson. Jacket illustration by Susan Stillman. Author photograph by Brian Hamill.
In this collection of thirty-four short stories, Hamill captures the extraordinary range of people, places and feelings that is New York City - the city behind the glamorous façade of Manhattan, inhabited by people who remember when this was "a great big wonderful town and they were young in the streets." Using all of New York as his canvas, Hamill recreates the baffling array of human emotions, from sadness and nostalgia to home and love, with affection, grace and wry understanding.
