本书是多米尼克·纳博科夫（Dominique Nabokov）室内摄影三部曲的**部，在1998年首次出版20多年后由Apartamento出版社重新发行。

该书最初是1995年《纽约客》的一篇摄影文章，坦率而深入地研究了纽约市知名文化人物的室内生活空间，包括苏珊·桑塔格、诺曼·梅勒、路易丝·布尔乔亚、弗朗西斯科·克莱门特、艾伦·金斯堡和琼·迪迪恩。

纳博科夫称这些图像为她的室内“肖像”，没有任何添加或改动。有些空间是放纵的、炫耀的，有些则是遮蔽的，纳博科夫只是以她的视角记录了这些空间，剩下的就留给我们解读了。之前的版本已经售罄了，这本更新版展示了纳博科夫最初的宝丽来照片和英国诗人詹姆斯·芬顿（James Fenton）的原始介绍，重现了纽约历史上的一个时代，还为后续的《巴黎客厅》和《柏林客厅》奠定了基础，这两本将由Apartamento出版社在2021年晚些时候重新发行。

New York Living Rooms is the first instalment in Dominique Nabokov’s holy trinity of interior photography works, re-issued by Apartamento Publishing more than two decades after it was first published in 1998.

Originally commissioned as a photo essay for the New Yorker in 1995, it offers a frank and intimate study of the interior living spaces of some of the city’s most fabled cultural figures, including Susan Sontag, Norman Mailer, Louise Bourgeois, Francesco Clemente, Allen Ginsberg, and Joan Didion.

With nothing added and nothing altered, Nabokov calls these images her interior ‘portraits’. Some spaces are indulgent and ostentatious, others shelter the bare necessities, but Nabokov simply records them all for her fellow voyeurs and leaves us to decipher the rest. Long out of print, this updated edition brings back to life an era of New York City history, seen through Nabokov’s original Polaroid photos and the original introduction by English poet James Fenton. It also sets the stage for the following editions in Paris and Berlin, which Apartamento will be re-issuing later in 2021.
