Feral City: On Finding Liberation in Lockdown New York
by Jeremiah Moss - Memoir, Nonfiction

The pandemic lockdown of 2020 launched an unprecedented urban experiment. Traffic disappeared from the streets. Times Square fell silent. And half a million residents fled the most crowded city in America. In FERAL CITY, author and social critic Jeremiah Moss explores a city emptied of the dominant class --- and their controlling influence. In public spaces made vibrant by New Yorkers left behind, Moss experienced an uncanny time warp. Biking through deserted Manhattan, he encountered the hustlers, eccentrics and renegades who had been pressed into silence and invisibility by an oppressive, normative gentrification, now reemerging to reclaim the city.
