What is especially brought into focus<br>in the analyzed New York – A Serendipiter’s Journey is the approach the writer employs to<br>present his personal picture of the city. Talese’s attitude consists in combining some key<br>techniques of traditional reporting with a more individual and imaginative treatment relying<br>on a wanderer’s/stroller’s point of view. From the perspective of a city traveller New York<br>is unconventionally pictured through its untypical and usually unnoticed aspects such as e.g.<br>forgotten places and odd occupations. It is emphasized that the writer’s image of the city<br>actually results from a number of pictures accumulated in the course of his own and many<br>other individual journeys. Finally, the paper accentuates the effectiveness of the literary<br>journalistic technique of merging the non-fictional with the literary in order to convey the<br>convincing and credible vision of reality.</p>}, number={XIV}, journal={Acta Neophilologica}, author={Przeszlakowska-Wasilewska, Joanna}, year={2012}, month={grudz.}, pages={199–207} }
