Description
Book SynopsisMeyer (Mike) Berger was one of the greatest journalists of this century. A reporter and columnist for The New York Times for thirty years, he won a Pulitzer Prize in 1950 for his account of the murder of thirteen people by a deranged war veteran in Camden, New Jersey.
Trade Review"Meyer Berger's New York is not a book you read cover-to-cover in one swoop, as you might a crime thriller. It is a book you savor, and drop in on, as you would an old friend." -- -Al Ellenberg "The legendary Berger's collection of 'About New York' columns, snapshots of the city that appeared in The New York Times in the 1950s, has been resurrected from out-of-print limbo by Fordham University Press." -New York Daily News "The Berger reissue is part of a minor recent trend in the publishing world to rescue some of the great works of 20th century's urban journalism..." -New York Sun
