Review:
"This is a book about New York as it was a long time ago... Mitchell is interested in the texture of the city. He loves the cops and bums and old Italian restaurants. After a while you really feel engrained in the place yourself" (William Leith Evening Standard)
"Swift, razor-sharp characterisation, narrative suspense and the sparest, yet most penetrating description" (Evening Standard)
"One of the greatest journalists America has produced" (Times Literary Supplement)
"What James Joyce might have written had he gone into journalism" (Newsweek)
"A poet of the waterfront and a writer of surpassing tales that captured the unsung and unconventional life of New York and its denizens" (Independent)
