About The Book

For nearly a decade, dynamo documentarian Uli Beutter Cohen rode the subway through New York City to observe, interview, and photograph some of its most imaginative people: the readers of books. Between the Lines (October 26th, Simon & Schuster) is the remarkable result—a collection of conversations that beautifully illuminate who we are and where we are going. Meet Qween Jean, who reads Homegoing and finds strength in the Black matriarchy; Nicholas, who reads Herman Hesse and thinks about the next 10,000 years; Leta, who reads Madeline Gins and changes her life with color theory; and Kareem, who wants to learn How to Do Nothing with Jenny Odell. You’ll also bump into iconic New Yorkers like Jamel Shabazz and Lynn Yaeger, and authors like Roxane Gay and Jia Tolentino. These conversations intersect in delightfully unexpected ways and are full of surprises. Get on board, stand clear of the closing doors, and enjoy this special ride.
