Here Schles embodies the fl穗eur as Susan Sontag defines it, as a \"connoisseur of empathy ... cruising the urban inferno, the voyeuristic stroller who discovers the city as a landscape of voluptuous extremes.\" We see in \u003ci\u003eNight Walk\u003c\/i\u003e a new and revelatory \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e for the twenty-first century--a searching tale of wonder and desire, life and love in the dying hulk of a ruined American city.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ken Schles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3869306920\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783869306926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steidl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/24\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.80w x 0.80d","brand":"Ken Schles","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43989619736831,"sku":"9783869306926","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fd1e6d09-0955-4a09-930f-f05cbd2bc4b5.jpg?v=1683300537","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ken-schles-ken-schles-9783869306926","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
