Product Description
Synopsis
Julia Solis's New York Underground , originally published in Germany by Christoph Links Verlag in 2002, is an informal and accessible history of New York's underground - from the subways to the bowels of Columbia University to its old pneumatic tube mail system. The author, an accomplished artist who has lived in America since 1977 and in New York since 1995, has spent years investigating the dark places of the city. The book is beautifully illustrated and features many of the author's own photos. Just as important, the stories she tells are fascinating - from the urban legends of alligators in the sewer systems to a late nineteenth century inventor trying to outwit Boss Tweed by building a downtown pneumatic subway system on the sly. As the story unfolds, she takes us through both abandoned train stations (where the fabled 'mole people' live) and the infrastructural ruins entombed in the bowels of the city. The portrait of New York's physical underworld that emerges is panoramic; Solis leaves no stone unturned.
