Here is Arthur Miller on Midwood, Mel Brooks on Williamsburg, Spike Lee on Fort Greene, David McCullough sees Truman, F. Murray Abraham deconstructs Brooklynese, and Jerry Della Femina describes those hot summer nights. There's the West Indian Day parade and the Neptune Parade, Ebbets Field Symphony and Norman Mailer in a homeless shelter, fancy pigeons and the parakeets in Green-Wood Cemetry, Junior's cheesecake, the men who put Gotti away, the world's best handball player, and a wiseguy's guide to dining. BROOKLYN, the book, tells it all, with nostalgia, respect, and laughter. Packed with over 100 original articles and features, plus the accent, the attitude, the smarts, BROOKLYN taps into one of the Brooklyn's best resources - its army of writers - to tell the story of America's hometown.
