20 mins in Manhattan

The Committee on Design is pleased to announce our first book for the 2010 Book Salon series! Please join us at Elliot Bay Cafe on March 17th 5:30-7:30 PM for continued dialog and discussion of YOUR CITY outside.

Our first discussion will surround the works of Michael Sorkin’s book “20 minutes in Manhattan.” According to The Times review by James Sclavunos, “The manner in which Sorkin relates his tales of the city is conversational. Coming to grips with the Manhattan landscape is Sorkin’s central concern, but along the way a variety of topics enters the narrative. The sprawl of the city is echoed in the expansiveness of his attention; and the reader encounters, just as one would when strolling down a typical New York City block, an array of diversions, nooks and untidy tableaux.

Hope to see you there!
