The Meadowlands

New York: Scribner, 1998. Hardcover. 8vo., 220 pp. The author's first book, a relatively early and influential book in the still very much emerging genre of urban nature writing. In the tradition of John McPhee and Ian Frazier. Sullivan explores New Jersey's marred but fecund Meadowlands about five miles out of New York City, becoming 'this weird and wild place's unofficial naturalist.' Sullivan would later write a well-received natural history of rats in NYC. Blurbs by Bill McKibben, Ian Frazier. Fine in Fine dust jacket. Item #928202635

Price: $35.00
