underground reading

Categories: Photo project |

We present to you a photo project called 'The Underground New York Public Library', the heroes of which are fans of 'underground' reading among the passengers of the New York subway.

New York is a city of contrasts, and people of different appearance and social status, but also with different reading tastes, live and side by side with each other. Photographer Urit Ben-Haim spoke about the preferences of ordinary Americans in literature in her project.

After looking through dozens of photographs, you will be surprised, or perhaps not surprised, to find in the hands of New Yorkers the works of some Russian classics: Tolstoy, Nabokov, Bulgakov, Dostoevsky and even Kharms. They are reading!
