Adam Gopnik has been a staff writer for The New Yorker since 1986, and his previous collection of essays, Paris to the Moon, became an international best-seller that chronicled his family’s five-year stint in the City of Light. This second collection details their re-entry to Manhattan—now with two children in tow—and encompasses family tragedies, triumphs, the shattering event of 9/11, and examines the city anew. Gopnik’s style—both written and verbal—is witty, sharp, and always intelligent. His children’s novel, The King in the Window, was published in 2005.![]()
