    摘要、提要註: Twenty-five years after the printing of his seminal 1988 book, 'Invisible city', Ken Schles revisits his archive and fashions a narrative of lost youth: a delirious, peripatetic walk in the evening air of an irretrievable Downtown New York as he saw and experienced it. Night Walk is a substantive and intimate chronicle of New York's last pre-Internet bohemian outpost, a stream of consciousness portrayal that peels back layers of petulance and squalor to find the frisson and striving of a life lived amongst the rubble. Here, Schles embodies the flâneur as Sontag defines it, as a 'connoisseur of empathy', 'cruising the urban inferno, the voyeuristic stroller who discovers the city as a landscape of voluptuous extremes'. We see in 'Night walk' a new and revelatory Ulysses for the 21st century: a searching tale of wonder and desire, life and love in the dying hulk of a ruined American city.
