Author Robert Lipsyte reminisces about visits to the Queens Public Library with his father, and crime novelist Lawrence Block explains how 9/11 has changed the way he writes about New York City. Two more writers, Dennis Smith and Esmeralda Santiago, are here too to explain why New York is so vital to their work. And E.L. Doctorow shares Sweet Land Stories, his new collection of five short stories, each mostly set in a place that’s anything but sweet – for example, a religious cult in Kansas, and an utterly corrupt presidential administration in the White House.
