Saloon-keepers and street preachers, gypsies and steel-walking Mohawks, a bearded lady and a 93-year-old "seafoodetarian" who believes his specialized diet will keep him alive for another two decades. These are among the people Joseph Mitchell immortalized in his reportage for The New Yorker and in four books-McSorley's Wonderful Saloon, Old Mr. Flood, The Bottom of the Harbor, and Joe Gould's Secret-that are still renowned for their precise, respectful observation, graveyard humor, and offhand perfection of style.
These masterpieces (along with several previously uncollected sto-ries) make up an indelible portrait of an unsuspected New York and its odder citizens-as depicted by one of the great writers of this or any other time.
