Bookriot's 100 Must-Read New York City Novels Updated - 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.... 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.
