literature of the city
this list is a nod to the fictional course taught in one of my favorite books of 2026 (and possibly all time), Offseason, which does not take place in a city for the most part, excepting one important and hilarious chapter, but i loved the idea of collecting great writing about the city i call home, NYC!
please send suggestions! i’d love to explore more NYC works. i fall out of love with this city from time to time, and nothing cures me faster than a good NYC book 🍎🍃✨
