One of the most powerful, provocative and enduring novels to expose social injustice ever published in the United States, Upton Sinclair''s The Jungle contains an introduction by Ronald Gottesman in Penguin Classics.Upton Sinclair''s dramatic and deeply moving story exposed the brutal conditions in the Chicago stockyards at the turn of the nineteenth century and brought into sharp moral focus the appalling odds against which immigrants and other working people struggled for their share of the American Dream. Denounced by the conservative press as an un-American libel on the meatpacking industry, and condemned for Sinclair''s unabashed promotion of Socialism and unionisation as a solution to the exploitation of workers, the book was championed by more progressive thinkers, including then President Theodore Roosevelt, and was a major catalyst to the passing of the Pure Food and Meat Inspection act, which has tremendous impact to this day.Upton Sinclair (1878-1968) was born into an impoverished Baltimore family, the son of an alcoholic liquor salesman. At fifteen, he began writing a series of dime novels to pay for his education at the City College of New York, and he was later accepted to do graduate work at Columbia.

Even among the Mob, the Westies were feared. Out of a partnership between two sadistic thugs - James Coonan and Mickey Featherstone - the gang dominated the decaying slice of New York City''s West Side known as Hell''s Kitchen in the 1970s and ''80s. Excelling in extortion, numbers running, loansharking and drug-peddling, they became the most notorious gang in the history of organized crime. The then prosecutor Rudolf Giuliani called them ''the most savage organisation in the long history of New York street gangs''. Upping the ante on brutality and depravity, their speciality when it came to punishment and killings was dismemberment. Their reign lasted almost twenty - their end would come as their own violent natures got the best of them and precipitated a downfall as infamous as their rise. This revised and updated edition, brings the story of the Westies up to date with ''where are they now'' snapshots of the men - and women - of the Westies.

On the crowded streets of New York City there are even more stories than there are people passing each other every day... only some of these stories survive to become history. Lamont Williams, recently released from prison and working as a hospital janitor, strikes up an unlikely friendship with a patient, an elderly Jewish Holocaust survivor who starts to tell him of his extraordinary past. Meanwhile Adam Zignelik, the son of a prominent Jewish civil rights lawyer, is facing a personal crisis: almost 40-years-old, his long-term relationship is faltering and his academic career has stalled. It''s only when one of his late father''s closest friends, the civil rights activist William McCray, suggests a promising research topic that the possibility of some kind of redemption arises.Dealing with memory, racism and the human capacity for guilt, resilience, heroism, and unexpected kindness, The Street Sweeper spans over fifty years, and ranges from New York to Melbourne, Chicago, Warsaw and Auschwitz, as these two very different paths - Adam''s and Lamont''s - lead to one greater story.

A Foyles Top Ten Read for August From bestselling author Jonathan Mahler, comes a sweeping chronicle of four years in 1980s New York that would transform the city and leave it more divided than ever. A rollicking, real-life Bonfire of the Vanities, featuring the larger-than-life personalities of Donald Trump, Spike Lee, Ed Koch, Al Sharpton, Rudy Giuliani, and countless others. New York City entered 1986 as a city reborn, with record profits on Wall Street sending waves of money splashing across Manhattan and bringing a once-bankrupt and reeling city back to life. But it also entered 1986 as a city divided. Nearly one-third of the city’s Black and Hispanic residents were living below the poverty line. Thousands of New Yorkers were sleeping in the streets – and in many cases addicted to drugs, dying of AIDS, or suffering from mental illness. The manufacturing jobs that had once sustained a thriving middle class had vanished. Long-simmering racial tensions were boiling over. Over the next four years, a singular confluence of events – involving a cast of outsized, unforgettable characters – would widen those divisions into chasms. Ed Koch. Donald Trump. Al Sharpton.

First book to fully celebrate the scale model of The Panorama of the City of New York as a metropolis in miniature and a beloved cultural phenomenon. An awe-inspiring metropolis in miniature, The Panorama of the City of New York has achieved cult-like status with New Yorkers and serves as a locus of memory for visitors from around the globe. The Panorama was one of the most successful attractions at the 1964–65 World’s Fair, with millions enjoying what was billed as an indoor helicopter tour of New York. Comprising an area of 9,335 square feet and built to a scale of 1:1200 (where one inch equals 100 feet), the original 1964 mini city was updated multiple times before its last renovation in 1992. Within the 320 square miles of New York City represented on The Panorama, you can find 850,000 buildings, more than 100 bridges, and almost all of the city’s parks and streets. This is the first book to fully celebrate The Panorama, featuring an accessible text and photographs of its conception, creation, and enjoyment, as well as testimonials from notable New Yorkers about their beloved cultural phenomenon.

The most complete and penetrating biography of the rock master, whose stature grows every year. Since his death ten years ago, Lou Reed's living presence has only grown. The great rock-poet presided over the marriage of Brill Building pop and the European avant-garde, and left American culture transfigured.In Lou Reed: The King of New York, Will Hermes offers the definitive narrative of Reed's life and legacy, dramatizing his long, brilliant, and contentious dialogue with fans, critics, fellow artists, and assorted habitués of the demimonde. We witness Reed's complex partnerships with David Bowie, Andy Warhol, John Cale, and Laurie Anderson; track the deadpan wit, street-smart edge, and poetic flights that defined his craft as a singer and songwriter with the Velvet Underground and beyond; and explore the artistic ambition and gift for self-sabotage he took from his mentor Delmore Schwartz. As Hermes follows Reed from Lower East Side cold-water flats to the landmark status he later achieved, he also tells the story of New York City as a cultural capital.The first biographer to draw on the New York Public Library's much-publicized Reed archive, Hermes employs the library collections, the release of previously unheard recordings, and a wealth of recent interviews to ...

The Gangs of New York is a tour through a now unrecognisable city of abysmal poverty and habitual violence centred around the infamous slum of Five Points, with its rival Irish and American gangs. Cobbled from legend, memory, police records, the self-aggrandizements of aging crooks, popular journalism, and solid historical research, this is a powerful account of New York City''s tumultuos past. Asbury presents the definitive work on this subject, an illumination of the gangs of old New York that ultimately gave rise to the modern Mafia and its depiction in cult films like The Godfather.

Poems and photographs from a painter whose gestural articulations and lush, textured landscapes draw comparisons to Klimt, Van Gogh and SoutineThis book comprises never before published or exhibited poetry and photography by the Canadian artist Matthew Wong (1984–2019), whose too-brief life yielded astonishing paintings in addition to work featured here. An introduction by Wong’s friend and fellow poet John Wall Barger sheds light on the genesis of the poems and the ambition in Wong to faithfully describe the wonder and desolation of an artist’s inner life. John Cheim, founder of New York gallery Cheim & Read and an accomplished book designer, selected the photographs and designed this volume.The institutional recognition of Matthew Wong’s achievements can be gauged by his four solo exhibitions at prominent galleries in New York, two museum shows in North America and Matthew Wong | Vincent Van Gogh: Painting as a Last Resort, the artist’s first European survey at the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.The critical and popular appeal of Wong’s paintings and drawings is considerable. Six Feet Short of the Moon is the definitive introduction to Wong’s poetic and photographic artistic practice, two critical components of his creative life.
