Manhattan

Rate this book
Torgrim Eggen har alltid vært fascinert av New York, og han skriver engasjert og kunnskapsrikt om dens musikk fra bebop til hiphop, om gateslang og skyskrapere, om provoserende komikere og frigjøringsbevegelser, om historien bak nyskapende ordkunst, billedkunst og matkunst. For Eggen er Manhattan ikke bare imponerende som fysisk virkelighet, men også "et sted der ideer fødes, der gamle murgårder svetter nye tanker".
