{"product_id":"ken-schles-night-walk-9783869306926","title":"Ken Schles: Night Walk","description":"Twenty-five years after his seminal 1988 book, \u003ci\u003eInvisible City\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003ci\u003eNight Walk\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eNight Walk\u003c\/i\u003e a new and revelatory \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e for the twenty-first century--a searching tale of wonder and desire, life and love in the dying hulk of a ruined American city.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steidl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/24\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783869306926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.80w x 0.80d","brand":"Ken Schles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41574176194741,"sku":"9783869306926","price":38.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_0c209f78-a968-42da-b165-684c44e44744.jpg?v=1643690494","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/ken-schles-night-walk-9783869306926","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
