The New York Metro was in the 70s and 80s a world apart. The ultimate symbol of a grimy, unstable and dangerous New York. The Metro crystallized urban fears. But the metro is also the meeting place for all social classes, all ages. From the Wall Street broker to the young Bronx teenager. Willy Spiller compiles his archives on the subject here. It is a masterpiece in which one plunges into the corridors and the trains of the wagons. A New York that still fascinates forty years later. Spiller’s book joins that of Bruce Davidson (Subway, 1986) and testifies to what New York was like at the time on the brink of economic and social collapse.
