在《见信如晤:纽约》(Letters of Note: New York)一书中,肖恩·亚瑟(Shaun Usher)整理了一系列关于“大苹果”(the Big Apple)的非凡的书面交流,从眼界开阔的新来者的惊叹,到本地人的热情倾诉,到被剥夺者的沮丧呐喊,再到老一辈人的美好回忆。
In Letters of Note: New York, Shaun Usher curates a collection of extraordinary written exchanges about the Big Apple, from the marvelling of wide-eyed newcomers and the devoted outpourings of native citizens, to the frustrated outcries of the dispossessed and the fond reminiscences of old-timers.
