The Meadowlands: Wilderness Adventures at the Edge of a City Paperback - 1999
by Robert Sullivan
This grunge north Jersey version of John McPhee's classic "The Pine Barrens" celebrates the "natural (and unnatural) beauties of a wasteland" ("San Francisco Chronicle").
From the publisher
First line
WHENEVER I'M IN NEW YORK AND I HAVE A LITTLE TIME ON my hands, I grab a backpack and some maps and a compass and maybe some lunch and I hike through Times Square and up the stairs of the Port Authority Bus Terminals, where I catch a bus out to the Meadowlands.
From the jacket flap
Imagine a grunge nort Jersey version of John McPhee's classic The Pine Barrens and you'll get some idea of the idiosyncratic, fact-filled, and highly original work that is Robert Sullivan's The Meadowlands. Just five miles west of New York City, this vilified, half-developed, half-untamed, much dumped-on, and sometimes odiferous tract of swampland is home to rare birds and missing bodies, tranquil marshes and a major sports arena, burning garbage dumps and corporate headquarters, the remains of the original Penn Station--and maybe, just, maybe, of the late Jimmy Hoffa. Robert Sullivan proves himself to be this fragile yet amazingly resilient region's perfect expolorer, historian, archaeologist, and comic bard.
