About this title

Synopsis

"Magic... A new way of moving through our worlds." 
--The Boston Phoenix
 
"Fantastic... A deceptively simple book, TEN WALKS/TWO TALKS demands little but offers much. Cotner and Fitch invite us to experience our city with fresh pleasure and renewed awe." 
--Time Out New York 
 
"TEN WALKS/TWO TALKS is not a destination; it's a gentle journey with a pair of companionable friends." 
--The Stranger 
 
"Unusually quiet and beautiful... This book isn't like anything I'd encountered before." 
--Time Out Chicago
 
"A clever, well-executed investigation of the poetics of the commonplace." 
--BOMB Magazine
 
"Hilarious... Walkers, you have found your Socrateses." 
--The Austin Chronicle
 
"TEN WALKS/TWO TALKS helps instill what is too frequently missing from books on buildings: the experience of the city." 
--A Daily Dose of Architecture
 
"TEN WALKS/TWO TALKS is an associative journey where scents, noises, people, and buildings are meticulously described through the eyes of intensely attentive explorers." 
--The Architect's Newspaper
 
"I hate exercise, and I hate conversation, but I love TEN WALKS/TWO TALKS."
--HTMLGIANT
 
"Cotner and Fitch's conversations zigzag between the philosophic and the comedic." 
--Paper Magazine
 
"I've noticed more since I read TEN WALKS/TWO TALKS. I've listened more. It's made me feel better. This is a gift, a beautiful book, and nothing in it is forgettable." 
--Bookslut
 

TEN WALKS/TWO TALKS combines a series of sixty-minute, sixty-sentence walks around New York City with a pair of roving dialogues--one of which takes place during a late-night ramble through Central Park.
