First published in the Netherlands in 1996, this book chronicles Voeten.s five-month exploration
of the society that exists underneath the streets of Manhattan. Voeten, an accomplished war
photographer and reporter, didn.t write about the people who lived in the tunnels under New York
from the point of view of an observer. He lived in the tunnels, grew to know the people who lived
there, and came to understand not just how they got there but also the society they have created.
Like Jennifer Toth.s Mole People (1993) and Matthew O.Brien.s Beneath the Neon (2007), Voeten.s
book captivates readers with its compassionate portraits of the people and their surroundings,
while exploring the surprisingly varied reasons why these men and women wound up living just
beneath the surface of the reader.s world.
