In the summer of 1863, as the Civil War rages on, New York City is a tinderbox. The city is overcrowded, impoverished, and reeling from the draft riots of the previous year. Tensions are high, and the city is on the brink of chaos.
Into this volatile atmosphere steps a young writer named Francis Mulvaney. Mulvaney is a recent transplant from Ireland, and he is eager to make a name for himself in the literary world. He soon becomes involved in the city's bohemian scene, and he befriends a group of young artists and writers who are just as passionate about literature as he is.
But as the city descends into chaos, Mulvaney's world is turned upside down. His friends and family are caught up in the violence, and he is forced to witness the horrors of war firsthand. Mulvaney is torn between his desire to write about the events that are unfolding around him and his desire to protect the people he loves.
City on Fire is a sweeping historical novel that brings to life the tumultuous events of the New York City Draft Riots of 1863. Garth Risk Hallberg's masterful storytelling and vivid characters will transport you back in time to one of the darkest chapters in American history.
