When it comes to New York City, its dynamic environ and multicultural fusion of distinctive
inhabitants, author Clifford Browder focuses his keen literary eye on his life and experiences
as a seasoned resident there, as well as providing glimpses of the eclectic history of the city
in his recent work, New Yorkers: A Feisty People Who will Unsettle, Madden, Amuse and
Astonish You. Moreover, being no stranger to using the backdrop of New York as a setting
for his previously published books, including a series set in nineteenth-century New York, titled
Metropolis, author Browder once again provides an intriguing exploration of a very culturally
distinctive locale.

Moreover, this is not your typical cut and dry biography, providing dry facts; instead, the read
is a heartfelt memoir of a man and the city he lives, loves, survives and works in. The narrative
keeps you rapt in its pages with a winning combination of information gleaned from Mr.
Browder's unique standpoint, research, and experiences from his many years as a resident.
Consequently, author Browder does well with transfixing the mental eye with descriptions
of his life as a longtime resident, including historical glimpses and insider tidbits of the
better-known aspects of New York as well as the lesser-known and even the obscure.

Providing a narrative which flows well, as Author Clifford Browder employs a friendly,
authentically knowledgeable tone, within which he gives literate life to a multilayered
perspective of New York, through his work in this book. In no particular chronological order,
the text is divided into five parts with each section bringing into focus an intriguing variety
of elements.
authentically knowledgeable tone, within which he gives literate life to a multilayered
perspective of New York, through his work in this book. In no particular chronological order,
the text is divided into five parts with each section bringing into focus an intriguing variety
of elements.
Firstly, Part one includes topics covering looks into the many people, languages, the hustlers,
scavengers and the rich. Next, Part 2 looks at how New Yorkers live with chapters including; Fun,
Booze, Smells, and Graffiti just to name a few. However, also included within this section
is my favorite chapter #16, Are New Yorkers Rude? I think author Browder explored this
question in fine style. Consecutively, Part 4 covers some of the more iconic locales including
Broadway, Fifth Avenue, The Bowery, Wall street and 14th street. Part four continues with
a tour of some of the museums, statues as well as an obscure but interest-piquing,
whiskey-tasting cemetery. Followed by Part 5 which delves into some of the past history
of New York, providing the insightful histories of both the good and the bad.

Overall, I enjoyed reading New Yorkers. Author Clifford Browder gave a fascinating
insiders tour of New York. Part biography, part historical dive and part travel guide,
this work offers a tantalizing vision of an exciting city overflowing with diversity in all
respects. This was a worthwhile read which I do recommend. However, as a fellow
New Yorker, I experienced some turbulent emotions while reading this book particularly
with the advent of Coronavirus and the current lockdown in NY and all those wonderful
people locked inside of their homes because of a virus. My heart and prayers go out to
my family and friends as well as the author, his family and all other New Yorkers-God
Bless Us All.
