Product Information
Fusing history, lore, politics, culture, and on-site adventures, esteemed essayist and author Phillip Lopate takes us on an exuberant, affectionate, and eye-opening excursion around Manhattan's shoreline. Waterfront captures the ever-changing character of New York in the best way possible: on a series of exploratory walks conducted by one of the city's most engaging and knowledgeable guides. Starting at the Battery and moving at a leisurely pace along the banks of the Hudson and East Rivers, Lopate describes the infrastructures, public spaces, and landmarks he encounters, along with fascinating insights into how they came to be. Unpeeling layers of myth and history, he reveals the economic, ecological, and political concerns that influenced the city's development, reporting on everything from the building of the Brooklyn Bridge to the latest projects dotting the shorelines. New York's waterfront has undergone a three-stage revaluation-from the world's largest port to an abandoned, seedy no-man's land to a highly desirable zone of parks and upscale retail and residential properties-each metamorphosis only incompletely shedding earlier associations. Physically, no area of New York City has changed as dramatically as the shoreline, thanks to natural processes and the use of landfill, dredging, and other interventions. Everywhere Phillip Lopate walked on the waterfront, he saw the present as a layered accumulation of older narratives. He set about his task by trying to read the city like a text. One textual layer is the past, going back to the Lenape Indians, Captain Kidd, and Melville's sailors; another is the present-whatever or whoever was popping up in his view at the moment; a third layer contains the constructed environment, the architecture or piers or parks currently along the shore; another layer still is his personal history, the memories recalled by visiting certain spots; yet another consists of the city's incredibly rich cultural record-the literature, films, and artwork that threw a reflecting light on the matter at h∧ and finally, there is the invisible or imagined layer-what he thinks should be on the waterfront but is not. Waterfront is studded with short diversions where Lopate expounds on some of the greater issues, characters, and sites of Manhattan's shoreline. Be it a revisionist examination of Robert Moses, the effect of shipworms on the city's piers and foundations, the battle over Westway, the dream of public housing, the legacy of Joseph Mitchell, a wonderful passage about the longshoremen and Elia Kazan's On the Waterfront, or the meaning of the World Trade Center, Lopate punctuates this marvelous journey with the sights and sounds and words of a world like no other. A rich and impressive work by an undisputed master stylist, Waterfront takes its rightful place next to other literary classics of New York, such as E. B. White's Here Is New York and Joseph Mitchell's Up in the Old Hotel. It is an unparalleled look at New York's landscape and history and an irresistible invitation to meander along its outermost edges.

Reviews
"A wonderfully observant, elegiac, and far-reaching historical meditation."The New York Times "The celebrated essayist takes a tour of the city's ever-changing perimeter, sharing his knowledge of New York's history, mythology, and plans for the future. Poring over his informed, readable prose is like taking a stroll with a favorite professor: he is opinionated, casual, and erudite in equal measure."Conde-Nast Traveler "A vivid blend of history, guidebook, white paper, and urban sketch. InWaterfrontLopate has enriched and refined his style by taking it quite literally to the vortex's watery edge, and for anyone wondering about that shoreline, his book will be a lively and trusty compass."The Nation "Part personal essay, part municipal history, part architectural guide, part criticism and part utopian musing . . .Waterfrontmakes excellent reading for all those who feel the romance of the city's past and . . . for those with an interest in the growing healthiness of the city's waterways and in architecture and urban planning."The New York Times Book Review "Phillip Lopate has surrounded his subject and been surrounded by it in turn. HisWaterfrontis an elegant, elegiac, scrapwork masterpiece." Jonathan Lethem "Where less keen observers see only ugliness, Lopate discerns the raffish beauty that once was, the bright possibilities that might be."Newsday "Phillip Lopate . . . demonstrates that you don't have to go to the ends of the earth to be a great explorer. Anyone who finds Manhattan fascinatingthere should be several million of uswould do well to readWaterfront, his beautiful ramble into its heart and soul." E.L. Doctorow "For strangers to New York,Waterfrontwill be an inviting introduction to the city's underappreciated edges. Natives will find surprising ideas and places in a metropolis they thought they knew."Newark Star-Ledger "Philip Lopate is a walker in the city like no other since Charles Dickens: He is archaeologist, historian, explorer, poet, observer (an observer of himself observing), muser, muller, and mooner; and all the while he is leading us through streets and crannies and old politics and hidden sights and right-in-front-of your nose scenes and structures, compelling our poignant or astonished notice." Cynthia Ozick "One man's saunter through a city he loves. . . . The stories are presented with tenderness and genuine concern . . . without the faintest whiff of sentimentality."The Oregonian "Lopate is a fantastic writerhumane, wry, and always astonishingly willing to take on the ineffable, attuned to the complexities of symbiotic relationships we only intuited before his dazzling collage was created." Ann Beattie "[Lopate] writes like cream pouring from a jug. . . . Richly entertaining."Kirkus Reviews(starred) "Waterfrontis a potpourri of astute architectural critiques fresh readings of shoreline classics (literary and cinematic), snippets of autobiography, and a string of vest pocket histories (the one on Westway is by itself worth the price of admission). By turns amusing and acerbic, gently playful and bracingly argumentative, it's a moveable feast."
