Krátky popis
'Beautiful, kaleidoscopic . . . everyone should be watching Megan
Bradbury from now on' Eimear McBride, Baileys Prize-winning author
of&,nbsp,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&,nbsp,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,&,nbsp,Everyone is Watching&,nbsp,is a love letter to
New York and its people - past, present and future.
