On Nov. 9, 1965 at 5:20 in the morning a young man stood before a
darkened United Nations building, doused himself with gasoline and
struck a match. At 5:20 that evening, New York City plunged into
its first major power blackout. Within the arc of those two events
resides City of Belief. Set in and around a soup kitchen on the
Lower East Side, the book is populated with Bowery habitues, young
people in the anti-war movement, and the legendary figures of A.J.
Muste and Dorothy Day. Into this mix arrives Jonathan Le Blanc and
events unfold. City of Belief is a story of the war in Vietnam, FBI
surveillance, protest, arrest, the mundane acts of peeling
potatoes, handing out clothes and the startling act of
self-immolation. It is also a story of faith and of belief in
things unseen.
