"A visionary portrait of the underbelly of 21st-century New York City."--Cover.

"If Charles Dickens had written speculative fiction, he might have created a novel as intricate, passionate, and lacerating as Thomas M. Disch's visionary portrait of the underbelly of 21st-century New York City. The residents of the public housing project at 334 East 111th Street live in a world of rationed babies ans sanctioned drug addiction. Real food is displayed in museums and hospital attendants moonlight as body-snatchers . . ." -- Back cover of book.
