The city is vast and amorphous. This booklet is small and precise. It is not
a walking tour, a visitor's guidebook, or a street atlas. It is a periodic index
of lost heroes and miniature histories. Its only objective is to make the
invisible equal to the visible. It is the first in a series of matching volumes
from All Night Menu.
