Luc Sante, Low Life: Lures and Snares of old New York (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1991; Vintage 1992) In this "outlaw urban history," Sante introduces readers to the dark underbelly of an older Manhattan (1840-1920) — from the Bowery's suicide saloons to opium dens to a brothel managed by an ex-seminarian — as well as to the vagabonds and orphans who haunted them.
