These skillful maps of Brooklyn, New Orleans, the coast of California and London were commissioned by New York-based publisher Black Dog & Leventhal for their new title by Richard Kreitner. Mike says, "Each map pinpoints a series of real-life locations associated with famous authors and their works including Charles Dickens, Truman Capote, George Orwell, Walt Whitman, Tennesee Williams and John Steinbeck. The London map was also reproduced for the front cover."
