Drawn from a huge array of sources-histories, memoirs, newspaper articles, novels, government documents, emails-and organized into interpretive categories that reveal the philosophical architecture of the city, Capital is the ne plus ultra of books on the ultimate megalopolis.It is also a book of experimental literature that transposes Walter Benjamins unfinished magnum opus of literary montage on the modern city, The Arcades Project, from 19th-century Paris to 20th-century New York, bringing the streets to life in categories such as Sex, Commodity, Downtown, Subway, and Mapplethorpe.Capital is a book designed to fascinate and to fail-for can a megalopolis truly be written? Can a history, no matter how extensive, ever be comprehensive? Each reading of this book, and of New York, is a unique and impossible passage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51893634007328,"sku":"NEW1784781568","price":39.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61zmfXW5xtL.jpg?v=1782004532","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/capital-new-york-capital-of-the-20th-century-1784781568","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
