description: Here is an extraordinary novel about a whole, evil city of people; about the ladies of easy virtue, the amorous men, the petty chiselers, the greedy owners of shoddy cafes, the pretentious hangers-on, the hard-working, beaten-down poor -- who reflect the tarnished glories of a big and wicked metropolis.
