Little, Brown and Company 1985. Hft. Normalskick. 159 sid. 248 gram. Brendan Behan takes on New York with style and charm. He loves the city, and it seems to reciprocate. This is no travel guide, no comprehensive catalogue of campy Manhattan hangouts but Behan's highly personalized look at New York and its inhabitants. He loves ?the city and it seems to reciprocate. This is no travel guide, no comprehensive catalogue of campy Manhattan hangouts?but Behan?s highly personalized, abundantly anecdotal, unashamedly haphazard, coyly wicked, and witty look at New York and its inhabitants, generously illustrated with Paul Hogarth?s brisk black and-white sketches. From dedication??To America - My New-Found Land. The Man That Hates You-Hates the Human Race?? to closing benediction, as Behan wishes happiness ?to you and yours? this is a warm and wonderful tribute to New York, New Yorkers, and sundry others, among whom you may include yourself, with Brendan?s blessing. ?A city is a place where Man lives, walks about, talks and eats and drinks in the bright light of day or electricity for city. Three o?clock in the morning, you can walk about, see crowds, read the papers and have a drink?orange juice, coffee. Whiskey, or anything. It is the greatest show on earth, for everyone. It?s fabulous beauty at night, even forty years ago, was is the wonder of the world?. A city is a place where you are least likely to get a bite from a wild sheep and I?d say New York is the friendliest city I know.? ?from Brendan Behan?s New York
