Can you recommend some nyc historical novels?

Sure. 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald is often considered one of the great novels with a connection to NYC. It shows the glamorous and decadent side of the city in the 1920s. Another one could be 'Bonfire of the Vanities' by Tom Wolfe which gives a satirical look at different social classes in NYC. And 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn' by Betty Smith which beautifully portrays life in Brooklyn, a part of NYC.

Sure. 'Maus' is a great one. It's set in a complex historical context related to the Holocaust but has connections to the idea of NYC as it's a very important graphic novel in the broader graphic novel landscape. Another is 'American Born Chinese' which has elements that can be related to the multicultural aspects often found in NYC.

One characteristic is the vivid description of the cityscape. For example, in 'The Great Gatsby', the parties in Long Island (near NYC) and the city's glittering yet hollow social scene are well - depicted. Another is the portrayal of different social classes. Novels often show the contrast between the rich and the poor in NYC at different historical periods.

Sure. 'The Black Dahlia' by James Ellroy is a great one. It's set in post - World War II Los Angeles but has strong ties to NYC. It's a dark and complex mystery filled with seedy characters and a convoluted plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Sure. 'The Hating Game' is a great start. It's set in an office in NYC and has a really engaging love - hate relationship between the two main characters. It's easy to get into and very enjoyable.

Sure. 'Blood and Chocolate' is a great start. It has a unique take on vampires in the NYC setting. It's not too complex and gives a good introduction to the vampire world within the city.

The InkWell Management also represents historical fiction in NYC. They are interested in historical fiction that offers a unique perspective on a particular era. Their agents are quite experienced in the field and can provide valuable guidance to authors. They often look for new voices and fresh takes on historical events.

One well - known NYC literary agent for fiction is ICM Partners. They have a great reputation for representing a wide range of fiction authors. Another is Writers House, which has been around for a long time and has a good track record in the fiction world.

Sure. 'The Devil Wears Prada' by Lauren Weisberger gives a look at the cut - throat fashion world in NYC. It's a fun and engaging read. Another is 'Bright Lights, Big City' by Jay McInerney, which shows the wild nightlife and the search for identity in the city.

Here are a few novels that tell historical stories: "Legend of Fangren: Jianghu Road" tells the story of Yongle, followed Zheng He to the West, and searched for the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen. "The King of Peace in Troubled Times": It described the endless history of the two Jin Dynasties, the idiotic emperor, the tigress who stole the power of her husband, the rebellion of her uncles and brothers, the fighting and looting of ethnic minorities, the arm-wrestling between the aristocratic families and the emperor, the cultivation of the second generation of the rich, and so on. "Shihai Shiqu": Starting from the late Warring States period, it re-interpreted some historical stories with many jokes in the middle, making the originally boring historical stories more vivid and more enjoyable. "Qin and Han Dynasty Political Planner": With time as the main line and the characters in the book as the secondary line, it described the historical stories that happened at the intersection of Qin and Han Dynasties.
