Description
A coterie of artists, prostitutes, saints, and seers are all aspiring towards fame and hoping for love and acceptance. Instead they find high rents, faithless partners, and dead-end careers. Offbeat, funny and bitingly satirical, "Slaves of New York" sheds an incomparable light on the city's denizens and social mores.

Her details are quirky, her language is lean and her sentences sprint along with deceptive ease' New York Times 'The shrewd observation, the skewed invention ... are the gifts of a singular talent' Jay McInerney 'Brilliantly funny' Independent 'Laugh-out loud funny ... wonderful' Washington PostMore details
