    Hardcover. Condizione: New. Twenty-five years after his seminal 1988 book, 'Invisible City,' Ken Schles revisits his archive and fashions a narrative of lost youth--a delirious, peripatetic walk in the evening air of an irretrievable downtown New York as he saw and experienced it. 'Night Walk' is a substantive and intimate chronicle of New York's last pre-internet bohemian outpost, a stream-of-consciousness portrayal that peels back layers of petulance and squalor to expose the frisson and striving of a life lived amongst the rubble. Here Schles embodies the flâneur as Susan Sontag defines it, as a 'connoisseur of empathy cruising the urban inferno, the voyeuristic stroller who discovers the city as a landscape of voluptuous extremes.' We see in 'Night Walk' a new and revelatory 'Ulysses' for the twenty-first century--a searching tale of wonder and desire, life and love in the dying hulk of a ruined American city.
