I'm wondering if anyone here knows of great pieces of literature that are related to New York. If you do, please tell me.

If you don't know it already, you should try F. Scott Fitzgeralds The Great Gatsby.

I've yet to read it, have it on my shelf actually, but I've heard great things about Mark Helprin's A Winter's Tale.

since the title of this thread is new york literature can someone explain why paul auster is so famous? his prose doesn't strike me as remarkable. are his stories really riveting?

foer and mcinerney have new york-y books. there's also michael cunningham. maybe john updike. but for great literature american psycho is one of the best, even though haters like to hate on it.
