By Ed Hamilton
In seven tales and a novella, Ed Hamilton takes in this conflict of cultures among the previous and the hot, as his characters are compelled to confront their very own obsolescence within the face of this speedily surging capitalist juggernaut. Ranging over the entire landscape of latest York neighborhoods—from the East Village to Hell's Kitchen, and from the Bowery to Washington Heights—Hamilton weaves a spellbinding net of city mythology. Punks, hippies, beatniks, squatters, junkies, derelicts, and anarchists—the whole pantheon of city demigods—gambol via a grungy subterranean Elysium of dive bars, reasonable diners, flophouses, and taking pictures galleries, trying to find which means and a spot to make their stand.
