Scenes from a Book: NYC’s Bryant Park

4/13/2017

 
Picture
One of the most charming aspects of the island of Manhattan is that it is freckled with parks. Some are world famous (such as Central Park), and others are tiny, hidden gems. I’m a big fan of Bryant Park, located right behind the Mid-Manhattan Library. It’s a little green oasis in the dense, high-rise landscape of Midtown.
 
Bryant Park is not very large, but it’s big enough for the necessities of any good city park: places to relax, flowers and trees, a large fountain and plenty of entertainment. I always like visiting Bryant Park, although it’s usually for just a short rest during a whirlwind tour through NYC. It’s a great venue for people watching and for catching your breath before launching yourself back into the fray.
 
In Inland, I used Bryant Park as the setting for a scene where some truths are revealed using stark contrasts, much like the park’s soft garden landscape set amongst towers of concrete, glass and steel. Bryant Park is a small port in the storm of NYC. It does not pretend to be an impenetrable sanctuary, nor would we want it to be.

I’m sure that you were able to make good use of Bryant Park’s image in your books. I love to go to a nearby park whenever I feel stressed. Being in a park helps me be at peace and pond on the things that I’ve done throughout the day. It’s nice to know these little pieces of information from an author. It makes me feel like I’m learning the story behind your stories. Thank you for sharing it with us.
