Recommended article: the image of New York through the dictionary of Alfonso Armada
“On page 50 we have already become scholars of New York, because it carries on its shoulders so many films and photographs, so many scenes and conversations, that the goal of knowing it seems within reach. In the next corner it will have faded, and start again. Actually, you don't even have to try. Although there is a subtle intersection between the different entries that they intend, rather than offer a canon -or precisely to avoid it and give the reader not an intellectual fabrication but an experience-, suggest what contains the soul of the so-called "Big Apple" , the mother-city of human temptations, enunciated before existing in the biblical Genesis as a synonym of perdition, but also as a source of hope. Each reader can play with his stories, because this book proposes an open and happy story, but it seems to me that «Elevator», «Ellis Island», «Judaica», «Noise» and «Windows» form a good combination. ”
