#fiercefeb #nightinthecity “ From the street,I looked up into the apartment buildings,into the naked windows of the tiny cubicle-rooms.More haggard faces peering blankly;skinny,maimed bodies of uncaring women in slips;men without shirts.All have the same look: the look of no longer questioning,resigned doom. The world on its knees..”
Published in 1963 ,an unrelenting tale of a street hustler,somewhat beat and ahead of its time.Thx. Grove Press.

1️⃣ If you are triggered by animal abuse (especially 😸), this is not the book for you.
2️⃣ I don't know if it was my edition, but there are lots of spelling/punctuation errors in the book, which definitely detracts from it.
3️⃣ #ReadHarder2017 LGBTQ+ Romance & #LRC2017 #18 With an LGBTQ relationship completed ✅

I was inspired by @suvata to do this post - City of Night will be read this year as it's a challenge book!
