Books by Dan Barry

A landmark collection of nearly 100 essays by New York Times journalist Dan Barry, selected from 10 years of his popular column entitled "This Land," that presents a rarely-seen and profoundly powerful portrait of America, made up of shimmering snapshots of everyday people and places.

Presents New York from various angles, finding surprise in the familiar, beauty in the rusted, ruined, or paved-over, and intimacy between strangers thrown together by circumstance.

"Beautifully written, utterly felt, it will enrich all who read it."-Anna Quindlen
