A small piece of Brooklyn

Brooklyn Was Mine is a collection of essays contributed by established authors such as Jonathan Lethem and Emily Barton and edited by Chris Knutsen and Valerie Steiker. The contributing authors are all examples of the diverse outburst of contemporary writers Brooklyn now house; the borough that's given readers some of our most loved literary voices over the centuries.

Each essay is a story of tribute to all the artful and culturally diverse neighborhoods of Brooklyn. It is a perfect ‘easy read’ for anyone who wants to re experience their love for Brooklyn or just wants to enjoy a collection of well-written personal essays. The best part is, the authors and the editors are contributing the proceeds of the book to Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn  
- A good read and a good deed.
