DEAR NEW YORK Voices From the City

Famed street photographer Brandon Stanton, creator of the photoblog and book "Humans of New York," narrates the beginning of this audiobook. The prologue starts and ends with the story of an infant left on a New York City street who is rescued by an EMT. Stanton also covers his 15 years in the "most diverse place" on earth. Then the voices of the other narrators take over. The result is an uneven but fascinating listen to the extraordinary folks Stanton has captured in his ongoing photo history. The remarkable people range from a sperm donor to a street prophet. Many come from dysfunctional families; immigrants are prominent. The beating heart of New York City is a fine stage set for this audiobook of living theater. [Published: JANUARY 2026]
