Summary:

"From the late Herbert Muschamp, the former architecture critic of The New York Times and one of the most outspoken and influential voices in architectural criticism, comes a collection of his best work." "The pieces here - from The New Republic, Artforum, and The New York Times - reveal how Muschamp's views were both ahead of their time and timeless. Published here for the first time is the uncut version of his brilliant and poignant essay about gay culture and Edward Durrell Stone's museum at 2 Columbus Circle. Fragments from the book he left unfinished, whose title we took for this collection - "A Dozen Years," "Metroscope," and "Atomic Secrets"--Are also included." "Hearts of the City is dazzling writing from a humanistic thinker whose work changed forever the way we think about our cities - and the buildings in them."--Jacket.
