The Bottom of the Harbor.
London: Jonathan Cape, 2000. First Printing of the First UK Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. The Bottom of the Harbor is considered a fundamental New York book. Every story Mitchell tells, every person he introduces, every scene he describes is illuminated by his passion for the eccentrics and eccentricities of his beloved adopted city. The stories tell of a life that has passed--of vacant hotel rooms, deserted communities, once-thriving fishing areas that are now polluted and studded with wrecks. This collection includes Up inthe Old Hotel, The Bottom of the Harbor, The Rats on the Waterfront, Mr. Hunter's Grave, Dragger Captain, and The Rivermen. Item #29292
