‎Some stains on front endpaper, otherwise a very good copy. --- Insomniac City is a moving celebration of what Bill Hayes calls "the evanescent, the eavesdropped, the unexpected" of life in New York City, and an intimate glimpse of his relationship with the late Oliver Sacks. - - Hayes came to New York in 2009 with a one-way ticket. Grieving over the death of his partner, he quickly discovered the pro- found consolations of the city's rhythms and of New Yorkers themselves, kindred souls that Hayes, a lifelong insomniac, encoun- tered on late-night strolls with his camera. - - And he unexpectedly fell in love again, with his friend and neighbor, the writer and neurologist Oliver Sacks, whose exuber- ance-"I don't so much fear death as I do wasting life," he tells Hayes early on-is captured in funny and touching vignettes throughout. What emerges is a portrait of Sacks at his most personal and endearing, from falling in love for the first time at age seventy-five to facing illness and death. Filled with Hayes's distinctive street photos of everyday New Yorkers, Insomniac City is a love song to the city and to all who have felt the particular magic and solace it offers. - - Bill Hayes is the author of The Anatomist, Five Quarts, Sleep Demons, and the forthcoming How New York Breaks Your Heart. He is a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in nonfiction and his writing and photo- graphs have appeared in the New York Times, the New York Review of Books, BuzzFeed, the New Yorker, and elsewhere. He lives in New York. --- CONTENTS: PART I: INSOMNIAC CITY - - Insomniac City - - Sleep: Loss. - - Black Crow. - - O and I - - On Becoming a New Yorker - - Subway Lifer. - - The Summer Michael Jackson Died - - A Fisherman on the Subway. - - A Poem Written on the Stars - - The Moving Man. - - For the Skateboarders - - PART 11: ON BEING NOT DEAD - - The Thank-You Man. - - The Same Taxi Twice - - The Weeping Man - - On Being Not Dead - - On a Typewriter. - - At the Skateboard Park. - - A Woman Who Knew Her Way - - Driving a Supermodel. - - Lessons from the Smoke Shop - - A Year in Trees. - - On Father's Day - - PART III: HOW NEW YORK BREAKS YOUR HEART - - My Afternoon with Ilona. - - His Name Is Raheem. - - A Monet of One's Own - - But. - - Everything That I Don't Have. - - A Pencil Sharpener. - - Home - - Postscript. - - Acknowledgments ISBN 9781620404942‎

Unbeknownst to him his ship engaged in actiondoes indeed sink the Bismarckwhilst he was suffers from seasicknessunaware of the heroics being performed on the upper decks. His homosexualitythough unacceptable to his family and some contemporarieskindled a passionate and eccentric way of life in which he was to meet some extraordinary and often dangerous characters.George's turbulent relationship with his mother was intensified by his father's emotional waywardness. Indeedthere was little love lost between father and son and their lives were spent in perpetual discordwhich was to end not in reconciliationbut with the old man's death.This the same father whooften as a result of his son's tantrums and blackmailfunded George Hayim's uninterrupted indolence. With a frankness that both shocks and entertainsthe author recounts his erotic history not unlike an 18thC rake.The story of how Genet gave George the nickname 'Posso' could have come from the pages of 'Querelle de Brest' itself.The author's most passionate love affair prompted him to write a novel whichdespite being lost in manuscriptwas rewritten and published to great acclaim.That novel'Obsession' was described by Gore Vidal as 'a unique work; a story of sexual obsession that is marvellously funny'.In his own turnGeorge has now been immortalized in the novels of Andrew Harvey the distinguished poet and travel writer.He is the original for the erotic and diva-like Adolphewhose genius presides over 'Burning Houses' and 'The Web'. George's naughty life conjures up a world of stolen pleasures bitter-sweet Mediterranean nightshectic urban adventures andabove alla world in which 'impossible friendships' flourished with an intensity which shames our own prosaic times.
