During a productive period of unemployment in 1975, I wrote a book
with a friend, "The Pedestrian Revolution: Streets Without Cars"
(Vintage). This gave me a confidence about writing I never had had
before. Once you start writing, it is not easy to stop. Over the
past 38 years, I have written 400 personal essays. In a spirit of
independence, I have never sought advance approval from an editor.
I choose the subject, write the essay and then find a home for it.
Many of my essays have appeared on the "Home Forum Page" of "The
Christian Science Monitor" and in the "New York Law Journal."
Others on the Op-Ed pages of 'The New York Times," "Wall Street
Journal," "Newsday" and "International Herald Tribune." My annual
income from writing has rarely exceeded a few hundred dollars.
(Mother provided sound advice when suggesting I attend law school.)
Yet the pleasure these essays have given me, both in the writing
and publication, has been enormous. For this collection, I have
selected 83 essays. Topics include: Walking, Central Park, Grand
Central Terminal Basketball and Opera, Rikers Island and Potter's
Field, Bridges, Rivers, the Harbor, Whitman and Thoreau in New
York, New York and Venice. These essays, and others, reflect my
close ties to New York, the city forever a part of me.
This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923. This book
may have occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages,
poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the
original artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We
believe this work is culturally important, and despite the
imperfections, have elected to bring it back into print as part of
our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works
worldwide. We appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in
the preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
