Twenty-five years after the printing of his seminal 1988 book, Invisible City, Ken Schles revisits his archive and fashionsa 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 find the frisson and striving of a life lived amongst the rubble. Here, Schles embodies the fl
neur as 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 21st century: a searching tale of wonder and desire, life and love in the dying hulk of a ruined American city.
