Zustand: Very Good. : En esta antología, treinta escritores contemporáneos examinan la vida en una Nueva York profundamente dividida. En una ciudad donde el uno por ciento más rico gana más de medio millón de dólares al año, mientras que veinticinco mil niños no tienen hogar, se necesita urgentemente un discurso público sobre nuestra arraigada y creciente brecha de riqueza. A través de la ficción y el reportaje, estos escritores transmiten las indignidades y el desamor, la crueldad y la solidaridad de vivir junto a personas con medios muy diferentes. Arrojan luz sobre las vidas subterráneas de las personas sin hogar que deben encontrar una cama en los túneles de la ciudad, las tensiones que la gentrificación puede traer a los vecinos en un bloque de apartamentos de Brooklyn, las artimañas de los asistentes legales del turno de noche seriamente alienados, las pruebas de un acusado de vivienda que defiende los derechos de los inquilinos y la humanidad que sobrevive en medio de una ciudad profundamente dividida. 'Tales of Two Cities' es un llamamiento brillante, conmovedor y, en última instancia, galvanizador para una ciudad y una nación en crisis.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Thirty major contemporary writers examine life in a deeply divided New YorkIn a city where the top one percent earns more than a half-million dollars per year while twenty-five thousand children are homeless, public discourse about our entrenched and worsening wealth gap has never been more sorely needed. This remarkable anthology is the literary world s response, with leading lights including Zadie Smith, Junot Díaz, and Lydia Davis bearing witness to the experience of ordinary New Yorkers in extraordinarily unequal circumstances. Through fiction and reportage, these writers convey the indignities and heartbreak, the callousness and solidarities, of living side by side with people of starkly different means. They shed light on the subterranean lives of homeless people who must find a bed in the city s tunnels; the stresses that gentrification can bring to neighbors in a Brooklyn apartment block; the shenanigans of seriously alienated night-shift paralegals; the trials of a housing defendant standing up for tenants rights; and the humanity that survives in the midst of a deeply divided city. Tales of Two Cities is a brilliant, moving, and ultimately galvanizing clarion call for a city and a nation in crisis.…
