Review

"[A] welcome one-volume collection of Mitchell's collected works...His richly specific, levelly related sketches of gypsy swindlers, waterfront rat exterminators are still funny, fluid, authoritative, tangy and affecting."

"This is an amazing book....Mitchell was one of the best reporters who ever walked the face of the earth; I've never met anyone who didn't like this book. It's lively, funny, and shrewd."

"[O]f Mr. Mitchell's characters--the bar owners, the Bowery preachers, the gypsies, the oystermen--you must say that he is the occasion for their prose....Mr. Mitchell's art is to elicit history from an enormous range of people, and then to cause their words to fall into a shape that gives the reader none of the agony the unreconstructed reveries of these long-winded men might have done."

Publisher's note

Mitchell explored a New York City that has now vanished in his four books and his classic reportage for The New Yorker. Mitchell's eccentrics live again in this omnibus volume that contains all of his books and several previously uncollected stories.

Annotation

Mitchell, the venerable New Yorker reporter, wrote these New York City sketches with a fine mixture of lucidity, grittiness, and wry humor. They include "Joe Gould's Secret," which was made into a movie in the year 2000.
