Book Reviews of City of Darkness - Life In Kowloon City
Book Review: Wow
Summary: 5 Stars
It truly is sad this city no longer exists. It served an important purpose and may well have had a more important community feel than NYC or other cities that are just as "dark". The photographic essay Greg Girard did seems to capture all aspects of this super-condensed city.
Summary of City of Darkness - Life In Kowloon City
Girard and Lambot spent four years exploring the notorious Walled City of Kowloon (Hong Kong), before it's final clearance in 1992. With over 320 photographs, 32 extended interviews, and essays on the City's history and character, this reprint is not only an informative glimpse of a now vanished landmark but a sensitive and penetrating portrait of a unique community.General Books
