Twentieth anniversary edition of a landmark book that cataloged a
vibrant but disappearing neighborhood in New York City In the two
decades that preceded the original publication of Times Square Red,
Times Square Blue, Forty-second Street, then the most infamous
street in America, was being remade into a sanitized tourist haven.
In the forced disappearance of porn theaters, peep shows, and
street hustlers to make room for a Disney store, a children's
theater, and large, neon-lit cafes, Samuel R. Delany saw a
disappearance, not only of the old Times Square, but of the complex
social relationships that developed there. Samuel R. Delany bore
witness to the dismantling of the institutions that promoted points
of contact between people of different classes and races in a
public space, and in this hybrid text, argues for the necessity of
public restrooms and tree-filled parks to a city's physical and
psychological landscape. This twentieth anniversary edition
includes a new foreword by Robert Reid-Pharr that traces the
importance and continued resonances of Samuel R. Delany's
groundbreaking Times Square Red, Times Square Blue.
