Bookriot's 100 Must-Read New York City Novels - Page 2

"The common thread is not just novels that use New York City as a setting, but ones that render the city as a fully realized character in the story. Here are 100 novels of New York City. I hope you'll discover classics you haven't read, unknown gems you've never heard of, and modern additions that round out the richness of NYC's storytelling tradition. You'll find entries from Harlem Renaissance writers, stories of the Gilded Age, immigrant narratives from a huge range of cultures, modern tales of both excess and famine, and everything in between." -Rachel Manwill
