"Literary legend" (New York) Gay Talese revisits his pioneering career profiling the many "nobodies" who make New York so fascinating, culminating with the strange and riveting story of Dr. Nicholas Bartha, who blew up his Upper East Side brownstone - and himself - rather than give up his beloved patch of NYC real estate."New York is a city of things unnoticed," a young reporter named Gay Talese wrote sixty years ago. He would spend the rest of his legendary career defying that statement by noticing those details others missed, celebrating the people most reporters overlooked, understanding that it was through these minor characters that the epic story of New York and of America unfolded. Inspired by Melville's great short story "Bartleby the Scrivener," Talese now remembers the unforgettable "nobodies" he has profiled in his pioneering career - from the New York Times's anonymous obituary writer to Frank Sinatra's entourage.
