![]() I read this over several months and I wanted to write about this book because I really enjoyed it! I first mentioned this book in a Friday 56 way back in October 2011. My two cents The book in one sentence: A man observes rats in a obscure alley in New York. Funny, wise, sometimes disgusting but always compulsively readable, Rats earns its unlikely place alongside the great classics of nature writing. Sullivan looks deep into the largely unrecorded history of the city and its masses-its herds-of-rats-like mob. Sullivan gets to know not just the beast but its friends and foes: the exterminators, the sanitation workers, the agitators and activists who have played their part in the centuries-old war between human city dweller and wild city rat. ![]() ![]() In Rats, the critically acclaimed bestseller, Robert Sullivan spends a year investigating a rat-infested alley just a few blocks away from Wall Street. Synopsis of Rats: Observations on the History and Habitat of the City's Most Unwanted Inhabitants by Robert Sullivan : Love them or loathe them, rats are here to stay-they are city dwellers as much as (or more than) we are, surviving on the effluvia of our society. ![]() Rats, yes, I am writing about a book about RATS! ![]()
