Low Life

The book explores the chaotic and crime-ridden slums of America's greatest city, Manhattan. Through four different perspectives, readers are taken on a journey from the city's actual topography in the mid-1800s to the forces of law and order that tried to contain the illegalities. Low Life isn't just a book about New York, it's an intriguing commentary on urban life, making it one of the most compelling works on the subject ever written.
