Using experimental montage techniques borrowed from the cinema, descriptions and bursts of overheard conversation, and jumbled case histories of a picaresque cast of characters from dockside crapshooters to high-society flappers, the author constructs a portrait of New York City as a futuristic machine filled with motion, drama and human tragedy.
