Summary

Michael Dean masterfully deconstructs E.B. White's classic 1949 essay 'Here is New York,' analyzing its structural strengths and weaknesses while highlighting White's ingenious use of imagery and metaphor. Despite a dip in the middle sections, Dean celebrates the essay's evocative portrayal of New York City's paradoxical nature and White's ability to compress its vibrant essence into a concise yet profound work.
