Yann Kebbi frantically draws the passers-by in New York whose streets he has walked in the summer. The book reproduces an entire series of pen drawings in a format identical to the originals. These two weeks of wandering are condensed into a one-way trip in and around the B line of the New York subway, the one that starts in the Bronx and runs along Central Park West.

His stolen works, torn from reality like stolen photos, celebrate the speed and bustle of New York and pay homage to the vertigo of its architecture. Yann Kebbi describes here several ways of living in the city by contrasting his frenzy with contemplative slowness. No crowds this time, but tight views approaching the portraits he occasionally publishes in the New York Review of Books.
