Fiction. In his highly acclaimed and best-selling novel The Dinosaur Club, three-time Pulitzer Prize nominee William Heffernan turned the world of corporate greed and downsizing on its head. Now, Heffernan takes readers behind the scenes at a major New York newspaper. Set against the backdrop of the `70s, when attack journalism as we know it today was born as a bankrupt town danced its nights away to a disco beat, CITYSIDE brings to life the ever-eccentric, sometimes endearing, and always devious cast of characters who populate a big-city newsroom. With the crisp pace and sharp characters that are hallmarks of his writing, Heffernan again tackles issues as real as today's headlines in this tale of ruthlessness and power. Once one of New York's most respected investigative reporters, Heffernan is the perfect writer to tell this story, and in his hands, CITYSIDE becomes a compelling novel that readers won't soon forget.
