F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby still captivates readers with its vision of 1920s New York as a city of infinite potential, where ambition and defeat live hand in hand. This sentiment is captured, with even greater acuity in Aben Kandel's nearly forgotten masterpiece of urban life, City for Conquest. This panoramic New York novel captures the complex patterns of city life, vividly evoking a metropolis of dreams and nightmares.
