Up in the Old Hotel Mitchell Joseph
"The master of a journalistic style long vanished - urbane, lucid, courteous...A masterpiece of observation and storytelling". Mitchell is the laureate of old New York. (Ian McEwan).
He captured the waterfront rooming-houses, nickel-a-drink saloons, all-night restaurants, the "visionaries, obsessives, imposters, fanatics, lost souls, the end-is-near street preachers, old Gypsy Kings and old Gypsy Queens, and out-and-out freak-show freaks". The hidden corners of the city and the people who lived there are his subject. Mitchell's trademark curiosity, respect and graveyard humour fuel these magical essays.
Written between 1943 and 1965, "Up in the Old Hotel" is the complete collection of Joseph Mitchell's "New Yorker" journalism and includes "McSorley's Wonderful Saloon", "Old Mr Flood", "The Bottom of the Harbour" and "Joe Gould's Secret". "Joseph Mitchell is buried treasure". (Salman Rushdie).
