# Ken Schles: Night Walk - Hardcover

by **Ken Schles** (Photographer)

**A provocative narrative of lost youth and a private view of an irretrievable downtown New York as Schles saw and experienced it." -_Musee Magazine_**

Twenty-five years after his seminal 1988 book, _Invisible City_, Ken Schles revisits his archive and fashions a narrative of lost youth--a delirious, peripatetic walk in the evening air of an irretrievable downtown New York as he saw and experienced it. _Night Walk_ is a substantive and intimate chronicle of New York's last pre-internet bohemian outpost, a stream-of-consciousness portrayal that peels back layers of petulance and squalor to expose the frisson and striving of a life lived amongst the rubble. Here Schles embodies the flâneur 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 _Night Walk_ a new and revelatory _Ulysses_ for the twenty-first century--a searching tale of wonder and desire, life and love in the dying hulk of a ruined American city.
