NIGHT PEOPLE and Other Tales of Working New York - Preface is by noted historian Paul Buhle. NIGHT PEOPLE is a collection unashamed to be called 'contemporary proletarian literature'. The energy and emotions within these stories are of the people, the workers who make the City run. But this book's scope also reaches into the asphalt itself and the mountains above--heralding the heartbeat of the land mass beneath us, acting as both oracle and protagonist. Night People speaks of those who labor on or who struggle with joblessness, those who strive toward artistic goals or advocate for others, those who face challenges of conscience and those who are simply of the streets. It brings to life the people who provide the soundtrack, the color, the breadth: those who thrive and those who perish in New York's wake. Here is a love song to reality, mourning the anguish and championing the everyday. --Author John Pietaro is a writer and musician. By day, he works in the Labor Movement in NYC.
