Excerpt from The Other Side, of the WallIt seemed impossible that there could be enough roofs to shelter so many. N ot until the train had swayed cautiously around a dozen curves, and had got across the river with its fringe of factories, and past the huddled houses of the near north side, did Ann begin to understand. Then she perceived that every lot that could be bought, leased, or grabbed was built up with ¿ats. There were whole cities of ¿ats, with stores and theatres serving them, and as the train rattled north, and its human burden became a little lightened, there were simply more ¿ats. Pano ramas of streets bordered by pile after pile of gran diose masonry, mile upon mile of community dwel lings, vista after vista of facades, cornices, porticos, and towers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
