While Manhattan tears everything down and changes everything, Brooklyn does a similar thing, but fails miserably at it. It is a crazy quilt of a place. A mongrel place of sorts. It mixes old and modern in a haphazard way. It represents a tiny microcosm of the world—functional utopia.” —Jonathan Lethem A complex and quixotic urban animal found ranging across southeast New York City, the Brooklynite has obtained a sort of mythological status, representing the “you tawkin’ to me” attitude for which the city is world-renowned. For over three years, writer Anthony LaSala and photographer Seth Kushner trekked tirelessly across the borough, documenting these charismatic characters in The Brooklynites, a collection of images, interviews, and essays. Kushner and LaSala, native Brooklynites themselves, sought out the famous and the nameless, current residents and former inhabitants, providing a profoundly comprehensive portrait of both the metropolis and its denizens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Outpost","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45973382627375,"sku":"9781576873984","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bcafitnessshop.com\/products\/the-brooklynites","provider":"BCA Fitness shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
