DEATH OF THE DYING CITY is a panorama of New York City’s rapid gentrification and shifting cultural enclaves in the 1990s. Rotating character-driven vignettes are connected by Mark Newstein, a young ethically-imperiled attorney facing additional issues of romantic upheaval.
Though a work of fiction, the novel grew out of the author’s fascination with dramatic but little-known episodes that ushered the city into its modern, gleaming status at the expense of communities with little political clout, and the simultaneous descent of the legal industry into a more disturbing, less honorable enterprise with the advent of legal advertising.
"A compelling mosaic of threatened artistic subcultures and boiling racial tensions in a city on the fast-track for change. "
— Andrew Cotto, author of Outerborough Blues
