This work examines the image of the New York Subway and probes the texts which have dramatised the ""dangers lurking below ground"". The subway setting provided Harold Lloyd with material for comedy, fueled William Randolph Hearst's crusade against the traction trust, and was the scene for the infamous Berhard Goetz murder - that made it symbol of the city's decay. The author addresses how the Subway has been used as a metaphor for the city itself as well as its problems, conveying hopes and fears for the urban future. Brooks explores the work of such artistic and literary figures as Reginald Marsh, Walker Evans, Tom Wolfe, Saul Bellow, Betty Smith, James Baldwin, ralph Ellison and LeRoi Jones.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
