Over the last 20 years, New York City has been convulsed by enormous challenges: terrorist attack, blackout, hurricane, recession, social injustice, and pandemic. 'NEW YORKERS' weaves the voices of some of the city's best talkers into an indelible portrait of New York in our time - and a powerful hymn to the vitality and resilience of its people.

In the wake of his celebrated book 'Londoners', best-selling author Craig Taylor moved to New York and spent years meeting regularly with hundreds of New Yorkers as diverse as the city itself - rich and poor, old and young, native and immigrant. 'NEW YORKERS' features 75 of the most remarkable of them, their fascinating true tales arranged in thematic sections that follow Taylor's growing engagement with the city.

Here are the uncelebrated people who propel New York each day - bodega cashier, hospital nurse, elevator repairman, emergency dispatcher. Here are those who wire the lights on at the top of the Empire State Building, clean the windows of Rockefeller Center, and keep the subway running. Here are people whose experiences reflect the city's fractured realities: the mother of a Latino teenager jailed at Rikers, a BLM activist in the wake of police shootings. And here are those who capture the ineffable feeling of New York, such as a balloon handler in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade or a security guard at the Statue of Liberty.

Vibrant and bursting with life, 'NEW YORKERS' explores the nonstop hustle to make it; the pressures on new immigrants, people of color, and the poor; the constant battle between loving the city and wanting to leave it; and the question of who gets to be considered a "New Yorker." It captures the strength of an irrepressible city that - no matter what it goes through - dares call itself the greatest in the world.

NYC - Unvarnished and Endearing

Reviewed in Canada on May 1, 2021

If you love and miss New York, you have to read this book. During these times, this is as close to NYC as you are going to get.

It is an honest account of the city and its people that you will ever read. You will learn more about the fabric of NYC than you will anywhere else.

It is raw while at the same time very touching.

You will want to go to NYC after you read this book!

This book is living, breathing New York city itself

A brilliant book that's as good as Londoners, Taylor's other piece of work. The author gets a diverse array of New Yorkers to open up about their life and times in NYC and the result is quite fascinating. It's an opportunity to live the New York life vicariously, experience the city by proxy. A very enjoyable read 👍

Fantastic. The literary equivalent of Chex Mix

In the lineage of Studs Turkel, Jean Stein, Joseph Mitchell, “Please kill me”… A fun and enthralling congregation of first-person tales of living in New York, New Yawk. The full gamut of human experience, punctuated by the author’s own relationship to his subjects and the enticing chaos of New York. Funny, elegant and deeply human.
