Praise for Magnetic City

An intimate, seductive guidebook. The New York Times

An enthralling new book makes clear that I m not alone in my home-town infatuation . . . lends nuance, texture and historical perspective to my impression that New York City has never been so appealing or life-affirming as it is today. New York Post

[Davidson] combines a keen intelligence, experience, observational skills, expertise (especially but not solely architectural), and an elegant writing style to make this beautifully produced book indispensable. Booklist (starred review)

A street-level celebration of New York City in all its perpetual complexity and contradiction . . . a worthy companion to Alfred Kazin s A Walker in the City and the American Institute of Architects guides to the architecture of New York as well as a treat for fans of the metropolis. Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Justin Davidson does more than direct our feet to New York s hidden monuments. He explains the structure of the city with a clarity that would be bracing even for a Gotham habitué, but more than that, he finds the meaning in every building and byway. Andrew Solomon, National Book Award-winning author of Far from the Tree

Mr. Davidson s exceptional knowledge of our beloved city is inspiring. Magnetic City is now my official chaperone. Patti LuPone

Justin Davidson has a mind alive to every signal, and his brilliant prose style transmits that electricity in black-and-white type. He is thus born to the task of capturing the chaotic splendor of New York City on the page. Alex Ross, author of Listen to This

Justin Davidson s beautiful tours of New York City invoke and redouble our love of the metropolis. Jerry Saltz, senior art critic, New York
