Remarkable, Unspeakable New York is as lively and exciting as the
city which is its focus. Shaun O'Connell clearly demonstrates that
the nation's metropolis, as setting and character, has inspired the
greatest achievements of many American writers. —Kenneth T.
Jackson, editor-in-chief, The Encyclopedia of New York City
"O'Connell's literary history of New York is informative and
readable, written with affection and a poetic flair. . . . Highly
recommended." —S. I. Bellman, Choice
"There is scarcely a sentence here without its critical
discernments. . . . Shaun O'Connell's New York is sometimes a place
of possibility, . . . sometimes the City of Destruction, but
remarkable or unspeakable, always readable." —Robert Taylor, The
Boston Globe
"O'Connell's entertaining history will greatly interest literature
devotees." —Publishers Weekly
