Thirty-Eight Witnesses: The Kitty Genovese Case Tapa blanda - 2008

Reseñas en medios

"This is a most important book by perhaps the most important newspaper editor of the last half-century."
—Gay Talese, author of The Kingdom and the Power

"A memorable book...that needs to be available to...anyone who struggles to...live an honorable life within one or another community or neighborhood."
—Robert Coles, author of The Moral Life of Children

“It resembles a time capsule in some respects… several of the haunting questions Rosenthal raised, generalized to any such situation, remain unanswerable, and link as firmly to the present as they did to their own time.”
—Art Winslow, Chicago Tribune

“A look at our collective guilt for Genovese’s murder, the way we are all complicit when the rules of society start breaking down… It’s a vivid argument, and 44 years later, it has more to tell us than some moralistic tale of apathy.”
—David Ulin, Los Angeles Times

“Now the classic book on the subject is out … stunning new introduction.”
—Liz Smith

“Years after its first printing, Thirty-Eight Witnesses remains a starkly terrifying morality play.”
—Publishers Weekly

“Concerns an event that seemed to symbolize everything that was wrong with contemporary New York: a 30-minute attack, culminating in murder, on a young Queens woman, heard by 38 neighbors, none of whom called the police. Reissued in a series of classic works of journalism, this edition includes a preface by Samuel G. Freedman and an introduction by Arthur Ochs Sulzberger.”
—The New York Times Book Review
