"Funny, sad, clever, original, heartwarming, timely, and terrific . . . A must-read."--Nelson DeMille "Highly recommended . . . Heffernan is masterly in -examining the scruples of corporate downsizing with a discerning eye and levity in his cauldron of good and evil."--"Library Journal" "An enormously entertaining yarn that puts the concept of human resources in an arresting new perspective."--"Kirkus Review" "A highly entertaining read."--"Publishers Weekly" "Fun and amusing, Heffernan's book nonetheless mirrors a growing societal terror."--"Gannett News Service" In his highly acclaimed and bestselling novel The -Dinosaur Club, William Heffernan turned the world of corporate greed and downsizing on its head in what USA Today called a "page turner" and a "funny and witty tale." Now, Pulitzer Prize nominee Heffernan takes readers behind the scenes at a major New York newspaper. Set against the backdrop of the '70s, when a bankrupt town danced its nights away to a disco beat and attack journalism as we know it today was born, 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. William Heffernan, a three-time Pulitzer Prize nominee from his days as an award-winning journalist, is the author of fifteen novels, including such bestsellers as "The Corsican, The Dinosaur Club "(a "New York Times "bestseller), "Blood Rose, Tarnished Blue "(winner of the Edgar Award in 1996), and "Beulah Hill." He lives in Vermont with his wife and three sons.
