Dreamland by Kevin Baker

Dreamland by Kevin Baker

The first book of the City of Fire trilogy -- in the tradition of E.L. Doctorow's RAGTIME, a sweeping tale of the immigrant experience in New York and Coney Island in the early 20th Century.

A literary tour de force, a magnificent chronicle of a remarkable era and a place of dreams

In a stunning work of imagination and memory, author Kevin Baker brings to mesmerizing life a vibrant, colorful, thrilling, and dangerous New York City in the earliest years of the twentieth century. A novel breathtaking in its scope and ambition, it is the epic saga of newcomers drawn to the promise of America--gangsters and laborers, hucksters and politicians, radicals, reformers, murderers, and sideshow oddities--whose stories of love, revenge, and tragedy interweave and shine in the artificial electric dazzle of a wondrous place called Dreamland.

Dreamland, Paradise Alley, and Sometimes You See It Coming are all bestselling novels by Kevin Baker. He writes a column for American Heritage magazine and contributes to the New York Times, Harper's, and other publications on a regular basis. He and his wife, writer Ellen Abrams, live in New York City with their cat, Stella.
