About Dear New York
A dramatic reading of stories and quotations from Brandon Stanton’s photography book Dear New York, t he inspiration for the groundbreaking Grand Central Station installation. While the book pairs photographs with firsthand accounts from their subjects, this audio companion features different New Yorkers, both actors and nonactors, reading these same stories aloud. These readings are accompanied by field recordings of New York City’s streets, parks, and sidewalks, collected from all over the five boroughs in the summer of 2025. Dear New York is a love letter to the streets, stories, and souls that define the heart of the city and its people. "The beating heart of New York City is a fine stage set for this audiobook of living theater." — Kirkus "In audiobook format, this book brings the sounds of streets and subways, along with a myriad of voices, straight to listeners through portraits that give this place–aptly named the city that never sleeps–its soul." — Library Journal (Starred Review) Creator of the global sensation Humans of New York and author of four #1 New York Times bestsellers, Brandon Stanton has shown us a unique side of our communities, our neighbors, and ourselves. Now, he takes us further and deeper than he’s ever gone before. Embracing all five boroughs, Dear New York is filled with contradictions, yet brimming with life. It is an unprecedented portrait of the world’s greatest city, and a personal tribute to the people who provide its soul.
