About This Novel

The works of Guy Tellis, the "Father of New Journalism", are great non-fiction writings of the 20th century and a model for feature writers around the world! Before Tellis, no one looked at the city and wrote news like this: Every day, New Yorkers drank 460,000 gallons of beer, ate 3.5 Million pounds of meat, and used 21 miles of dental floss. In this city, 250 people die every day, 460 are born, and 150,000 people walk around with glass or plastic prosthetic eyes. This is a New York symphony. With his sharp vision and precise writing style, the author Tellis shows us the style of New York: the unknown anecdotes among the faceless crowds, and the embarrassing situations after the stars under the spotlight turn around. The shoe shiner at the club door, the doorman of the high-end apartment, the bus driver, the building cleaner, the construction worker, and stars such as Frank Sinatra, Joe DiMaggio, Peter O'Toole, etc. Were respected by Tellis, and he treated them with the same curiosity.
