{"product_id":"9783869306926","title":"Ken Schles: Night Walk","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwenty-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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steidl, Gerhard Druckerei und Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47041505296624,"sku":"9783869306926","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783869306926_p0.jpg?v=1763761136","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783869306926","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
