Beautiful, kaleidoscopic . . . everyone should be watching Megan
Bradbury from now on' Eimear McBride, Baileys Prize-winning author
of A Girl Is a Half-formed Thing New York: A city that inspires. A
city that draws people in. A city where everyone is watching,
waiting to see what will happen next. 1967. Robert Mapplethorpe
knows he is an artist. From his childhood home in Queens he yearns
for the heat and excitement of the city, the press of other
people's bodies. He wants to be watched, he wants to be known.
1891. Walt Whitman has already found fame, and has settled into his
own sort of old age. Still childlike, still passionate, he travels
with his friend and biographer Bucke to the city he has always
adored, the scene of his greatest triumphs and rejections. 1922.
Robert Moses is a man with a vision. Standing on the edge of Long
Island he knows what it could become. Walking down a street in
Brooklyn he sees its future. He is the man who will build modern
New York. 2013. Edmund White is back in New York. It's the city of
his youth, of his life and loves. He remembers days of lazy
pleasure, nights of ecstasy and euphoria. But years have gone by
since then. Everyone is Watching is a novel about the men and women
who have defined New York. Through the lives and perspectives of
these great creators, artists and thinkers, and through other
iconic works of art that capture its essence, New York itself
solidifies. Complex, rich, sordid, tantalizing, it is constantly
changing and evolving. Both intimate and epic in its sweep,
Everyone is Watching is a love letter to New York and its people -
past, present and future.
