Long Island Noir
Author(s): Kaylie Jones
Kaylie Jones, Jules Feiffer, Reed Farrel Coleman, Sheila Kohler, and others reveal how Long Island has always been a playground for the rich and famous - and while it used to be that only a select few could afford it, now everyone wants a piece of the pie. The McMansions pop up like mushrooms, limiting resources and destroying an already taxed environment. It feels a little like Rome in its last days - a kind of collective amnesia and blindness to the outside world has taken over. This collection showcases the dark underbelly of a false idyll.
