In \"Up in the Old Hotel,\" Mitchell and the eponymous proprietor of Sloppy Louie's seafood restaurant explore the upper reaches of the harbor's storied, abandoned old hotel. \"The Rats on the Waterfront\" examines the habits of New York's greasiest residents. And widely considered one of the greatest works of nonfiction ever printed in \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker,\u003c\/i\u003e \"Mr. Hunter's Grave\" draws the reader into the eddies of time surrounding a particular graveyard on the South Shore of Staten Island.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This new edition features stunning original black-and-white illustrations by another inveterate New Yorker, Joana Avillez. Raised near the Fulton Fish Market, the place that Mitchell credited with first making him feel truly at home in the city, Avillez has long turned her keen eye and nimble pen on the everyday comings and goings of city denizens. Her ebullient style adds another dimension to Joseph Mitchell's vivid character studies.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Bottom of the Harbor\u003c\/i\u003e is a timeless love letter to New York, an elegy to what it once was, and an expression of hope for its future.

In 1916, he left behind patrician roots for a scrappy, hand-to-mouth existence: he wore ragtag clothes, slept in Bowery flophouses, and mooched food, drinks, and money off of friends and strangers. Thus he was able to devote his energies to writing An Oral History of Our Time, which Gould said would constitute the informal history of the shirt-sleeved multitude. But when Joe Gould died in 1957, the manuscript could not be found. Where had he hidden it?
