Book Description: Vintage Departures, New York U. S. A., 1992. Softcover. Book Condition: As New. Marfree, acidfree Fine illus reprint as shown; no names, not marked-in, underscored, clearance or discard. Mails from NYC usually within 12 hours.; 0.9 x 7.8 x 5.2 Inches; 412 pages; Online ReviewThere are very few classics in the field of pop culture--the academic stuff tends to be too dry and the fun stuff is too quickly dated. This book by Luc Sante is the exception--in fluid prose liberally sprinkled with astute metaphors, Sante tells the story of New York's Lower East Side, circa 1840-1920. The personal histories of criminals, prostitutes, losers, and swindlers bring to life the social and statistical history that the author has meticulously researched. Not limiting himself to the usual sources, Sante finds his history in old copies of Police Gazette as well as actual police, fire, and social service records. Above all, what really makes this book work is the writing, which brings to life a culture of the streets that continues to form a silent influence on our contemporary popular culture.
