The Bridge
Almost forty years later, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge remains, at two and a half miles, the longest suspension bridge in the United States--and The Bridge is finally available in paperback, introducing a new generation of readers to Talese's consummate skills as a reporter and storyteller. He paints a revealing portrait of the daring, hard-living, high-steel workers, and of the average families and tradespeople who were displaced by the bridge and its ardent champion, Robert Moses. Revisiting the places and people he encountered four decades earlier, Talese has added a lengthy and poignant afterword, bringing full circle the many dramas that make The Bridge a resonant story for our times. |
