The fascination of Broadway is difficult for this (British) reader to understand but clearly this (British) author desparately wants to understand it. His journey down the Great White Way takes in a a whole host of unlikely and unlikeable characters who all have a story to tell (or else they don't get in the book presumably). Cohn has a fondness for these wise guys, show girls, trannies, druggies and refugees and that shows through all the wise-ass writing. There are some great lines in these pages and even some of the cameos have great pathos.
It lacks any real structure but has a chaos about it which you might think was designed to imitate the area it describes. Written pre-Giuliani I doubt if it will act as any sort of reliable Travel guide but an interesting take on the history of the area.
