Reader Submissions / Others.
• Forever by Pete Hamill. "Forever," an overblown tall tale about an Irish immortal confined to the island of Manhattan, traffics in some interesting ideas about the universal nature of myth and the powerful correspondences between the first two non-Anglo immigrant groups to transform America, the Irish and the Africans. (New York Times Book Review)
• Gangs Of New York by Various. The movie "Gangs Of New York," directed by Martin Scorcese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Daniel Day Lewis, has brought renewed attention to the city's long colorful history of criminal gangs, and especially to the Five Points, which historian Edwin Burrows calls "New York's most infamous neighborhood, singled out by generations of reformers and journalists as a hive of nightmarish squalor, violence, disease and crime." (Book list compiled by Gotham Gazette)
