WHO SLEEPS WITH KATZ by Todd McEwen, the final word on New York, eating, drinking, smoking. An Epic for the Epicures and one of my favourite novels.

Here we are taking a copy of this profound, funny book downtown.

‘Ferocious wit, a stream of magnificent sentences, something to savour on every page, and a blissful knowledge of what really matters in life.’
     – Guardian

‘One of the great American novels . . . Overwhelming – as great and sad a love song as the city has ever inspired.’
     – Salon

‘A dizzying, compelling novel that throws humour, pathos and crudeness up from the page in equal measures from start to finish . . . raw, immediate, funny and leaving no emotion unexplored.’ 
     – Scotland on Sunday

‘A finely crafted, elegaic digression into anecdotal years of living, walking, loving, arguing, smoking and drinking in Manhattan . . . an almost Whitmanesque hommage to the city’s delights.’
     – Independent

‘It almost demands to be read out aloud, in order to help the reader unfold the mercurial syntax, the darting, quixotic process of thought.’
    – Scotsman
