Historias de Nueva York

New York Stories | RBA, 2006

Some knowledge is perfectly unnecessary. You can live very happily without knowing how the dome of the Chrysler skyscraper came into being, why the Yankees are the top team in New York, what the relationship is between Saudi Arabia and Brooklyn beer, why the fat on steaks is more yellowish than in Europe, in which bar Dylan Thomas drank his last whisky or where they serve the best hamburgers in Manhattan.

Historias de Nueva York is about all of these things. But it also tells the story of a roaring, fabulous city, of a dark September day, of a group of people and three unforgettable friends.

«The advice and suggestions González offers instantly make you crave to travel to New York. However, if you decide to stay put, you will still be able to travel, through a sceptical and melancholic gaze, through streets, slums, skyscrapers and the criminal records of history.» Sergi Pamies, El País

«If in London we met Enric the traveller, in New York we discover Enric the person, obsessive, caustic and vulnerable. A guy who, inevitably, throws his lot in with the Mets, a team of unrepentantly disillusioned souls, usual suspects, like our nomadic protagonist». Fermín de la Calle, Jot Down
