Description

Dan Barry approaches New York from every angle, finding surprise in the familiar, beauty in the rusted, ruined, or paved-over, and intimacy between strangers thrown together by circumstance. Whether visiting the Fulton Fish Market on the day of its closing, watching octogenarian dancers as they re-capture the grace of their youths, or talking to cops, rabbis, hatmakers, bartenders, doctors, boat captains, cabdrivers, engineers, barbers, and other about their jobs and lives, Barry brings the eye of the journalist and the soul of a poet to everything he writes.

Author Biography:

Dan Barry wrote the weekly column About New York for The New York Times from June 2003 to November 2006, and now writes a national column for the Times called This Land. He was a nominated finalist for the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing for his coverage of New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina and for his coverage of life in New York City, and shared the 1994 Pulitzer for Investigative Reporting while working at the Providence Journal. He is also the author of a memoir, Pull Me Up. Born in New York and raised on Long Island, he lives with his family in Maplewood, New Jersey.
