Product Description:
A man named William Carlos Williams once said that a man in himself is a city, beginning, seeking, achieving and concluding his life in ways which the various aspects of a city may embody, (if imaginatively conceived), any city, all the details of which may be made to voice his most intimate convictions. And if a man is a city, a city is made of men. The city in this case is Pittsburgh and its outlaying areas, (its tributaries). Urbesque is a dual portrait, a portrait of the city and of the cities of men who comprise it. It is not a conventional portrait, but one seen in the corner of an eye, one gathered from the things left behind and, although each reader will leave with a different idea of what that portrait is, the truth of their simple details and convictions will continue to resonate long after the book is returned to the shelf.
