Bloomsbury USA, 2014. Book. Fine. Hardcover. Signed by Author(s). A beautiful copy of this anniversary edition, signed by Talese on the title page and quite uncommon thus. "In honor of the bridge's fiftieth anniversary next month, Bloomsbury is releasing a new edition of Mr. Talese's work. It features an afterword in which Mr. Talese, 82, updates readers on the lives of the ironworkers he spent five years profiling.The Verrazano-Narrows is worthy of this second look. Before the bridge, Staten Island was virtually cut off from the veins of the city; in the last fifty years, the borough has grown from its rural base to a population of almost 475,000. But The Bridge demands attention today for more than this context: The work represents a high moment in American literary nonfiction, a time when, according to Mr. Talese, "minor characters could take center stage.".
