Nonstop Metropolis

This book is a beautifully-designed series of maps and essays that offer an unbound look at one of the most iconic cities in the world: New York. With insights from linguists, music historians, ethnographers, and more, the book explores all five boroughs of New York City and parts of nearby New Jersey, celebrating the city's unique vitality and literary history while critiquing its inequalities and environmental impact. Contributors include Teju Cole, Valeria Luiselli, and Margo Jefferson, among many others. This book is both a tribute to and a challenge to how New Yorkers think of their city.
