Description:
Imagine a grunge north Jersey version of John McPhee's classic The Pine Barrens and you'll get some idea of the idiosyncratic, fact-filled, and highly original work that is Robert Sullivan's The Meadowlands. Just five miles west of New York City, this vilified, half-developed half-untamed, much dumped-on, and sometimes odiferous tract of swampland is home to rare birds and missing bodies tranquil marshes and a major sports arena, burning garbage dumps and corporate headquarters, the remains of the original Penn Station -- and maybe, just maybe, of the late Jimmy Hoffa. Robert Sullivan proves himself to be this fragile yet amazingly resilient region's perfect explorer, historian, archaeologist, and comic bard.
