How is this book unique?
The story is a perfect example of what happens when our rational thoughts are replaced by the delirious and altered perceptions of the world that lies beyond the ordinary one.
The Poe who emerges here is a man whose outlook and career were shaped by the cities where he lived, longing for a stable home.
The Man of the Crowd chronicles Poe's rootless life, focusing on the American cities where he lived the longest: Richmond, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York.
