Local Color Anne Born

2019 INDEPENDENT PRESS AWARD Distinguished Favorite and 2019 New York City BIG BOOK AWARD Distinguished Favorite: : it's poetry, essays, and short narratives - New York has a local color. It's the people and diners, subways and buses, libraries and streets. From the psychics who advertise on the trains, to the tourists who selfie their way around the New York Public Library on 42nd Street, everyone contributes to the local color. Born examines the colorful canvas that the City presents every day. Free street theater, something to think about, something to savor. Pick up a Greek diner cup of coffee, peel back the lid, and sit for a read. New York City, told in blazing local color.
