    Praise for Ian Frazier"[Frazier] is like an archeologist of social sensibilities, paying rapt attention to dialect, landscapes, sounds, and political quirks, then displaying them in artfully simple sentences." - The New Yorker"A writer of uncommon grace and subtlety." - Steve Johnson, Chicago Tribune, " A profound portrait of this storied place . . . Vivid profiles of historical figures . . . The culmination of many years of passionate inquiry, Frazier's deep history--grandly detailed, vibrant, and caring--does right by the resilient, ever-morphing Bronx ." -- Booklist (starred review) "[An] appreciation of a unique area that will appeal to those who have had enough tales of Manhattan." -- Kirkus Reviews "Having grown up in the Bronx, and having always thought of the borough as a series of interchangeable immigrant neighborhoods, this book comes as a marvelously encyclopedic surprise, full of historical dazzle and cultural richness. An absolute pleasure to read!" -- Vivian Gornick, author of Unfinished Business: Notes of a Chronic Re-Reader "Once known as the Jewish Borough, the Bronx is the real New York. Resilient, diverse, tolerant, brash, ethnic, competitive, and ambitious , it seemed to have everything, not just the Yankees and the Bronx Zoo, but Parkchester, City Island, the real Little Italy, Orchard Beach, Loehmann's, the Loews Paradise, Krum's and Jahn's ice cream parlors, and the largest produce market in the western hemisphere. Readers may not agree with all of Ian Frazier's many judgments, but they will enjoy the tales and the anecdotes. If you ever lived in the Bronx, you can't miss this entertaining and informative book which brings us up to the present. " -- Kenneth T. Jackson , editor-in-chief, The Encyclopedia of New York City , and president emeritus of the New-York Historical Society., "Having grown up in the Bronx, and having always thought of the borough as a series of interchangeable immigrant neighborhoods, this book comes as a marvelously encyclopedic surprise, full of historical dazzle and cultural richness.

If you ever lived in the Bronx, you can't miss this entertaining and informative book which brings us up to the present. " -- Kenneth T. Jackson , editor-in-chief, The Encyclopedia of New York City , and president emeritus of the New-York Historical Society., "Frazier loves the idea of uncovering what people might not clearly see--might not even be looking for--and connecting it to the present day . . . Though it's as fundamentally foolish as declaring a Great American Novelist, if forced to pick a Great American Nonfiction Writer, I might choose Ian Frazier, because his work has always resolutely quested to explore, experience, and explain his nation ." -- Dan Kois, Slate "Ancient Rome had its Livy, and now the Bronx has its epic chronicler in Ian Frazier . . . a compelling chronicle of the Bronx, all the more effective for its clear-eyed take on a subject so often drenched in sentimentality or distaste." -- Edward Kosner, The Wall Street Journal " A profound portrait of this storied place . . . Vivid profiles of historical figures . . . The culmination of many years of passionate inquiry, Frazier's deep history--grandly detailed, vibrant, and caring--does right by the resilient, ever-morphing Bronx ." -- Booklist (starred review) "[An] appreciation of a unique area that will appeal to those who have had enough tales of Manhattan." -- Kirkus Reviews "Having grown up in the Bronx, and having always thought of the borough as a series of interchangeable immigrant neighborhoods, this book comes as a marvelously encyclopedic surprise, full of historical dazzle and cultural richness.

    Synopsis
    Ian Frazier's magnum opus: a love song to New York City's most heterogeneous and alive borough. For the past fifteen years, Ian Frazier has been walking the Bronx. Paradise Bronx reveals the amazingly rich and tumultuous history of this amazingly various piece of our greatest city. From Jonas Bronck, who bought land from the local Native Americans, to the formerly gang-wracked South Bronx that gave birth to hip-hop, Frazier's loving exploration is a moving tour de force about the polyglot culture that is America today. During the Revolution, when the Bronx was unclaimed territory known as the Neutral Ground, some of the war's decisive battles were fought here by George Washington's troops. Gouverneur Morris, one of the most colorful Founding Fathers, owned a huge swath of the Bronx, where he lived when he was not in Paris during the French Revolution or helping write the US Constitution. Frazier shows us how the coming of the railroads and the subways drove the settling of the Bronx by various waves of immigration-- Irish, Italian, Jewish (think the Grand Concourse), African American, Caribbean, Puerto Rican (J.Lo is one of the borough's most famous citizens). The romance of the Yankees, the disaster of the Cross Bronx Expressway, the invention of rap and hip-hop, the resurgence of community as the borough's communities learn mutual aid--all are investigated, recounted, and celebrated in Frazier's inimitable voice. This is a book like no other about a quintessential American city and the resilience and beauty of its citizens.
