"This book takes you to places you think you don't want to enter, to people you think you don't want to meet, to lives you think you don't want to live--and makes you rethink all your assumptions. It reveals the tremendous strength and humanity of those who are usually ignored. And as you pay attention, your own humanity expands." ---Susan Stamberg, special correspondent, National Public Radio In its heyday, close to one hundred thousand men found shelter each night in flophouses along America's largest and most infamous skid row, the Bowery. Today, only a handful of flops are left, their tiny five- and ten-dollar-a-night rooms home to fewer than a thousand men, mostly long-time residents. In a handful of years, this world will be gone. In Flophouse, documentarians David Isay and Stacy Abramson and photographer Harvey Wang chronicle this vanishing world through the voices and portraits of a number of those residents, interspersed with photographs of their surroundings. The men come from all manner of backgrounds, and the rich variety of the tales they tell is a testament to the number of ways the bottom can fall out of life in America, even in prosperous times. This book warrants comparison with Walker Evans and James Agee's Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, but the authors were inspired most directly by Joseph Mitchell, who wrote about some of these same flophouses with an honest warmth and an acceptance of life as it's found. Shimmering with humanity and utterly devoid of false sentiment, Flophouse is a powerful reminder that even on the margins, life defies all attempts at reduction.

Former businessman and first generation immigrant, Zoltan Kovacs becomes penniless and old and forced to live in a Bronx rooming house with other pathetic or unsavory characters. There is no hope except con man, Michael Vitray who concocts a basic get rich quick scheme and offers it to Zoltan. Zoltan should marry Natasha, the Russian ex ballerina, one of their fellow lodgers, take a life insurance out on her and bang, she dies and they collect. Zoltan already been married three times, his last wife, Beatrice took him to the cleaners and froze all his assets. Natasha suggests they whack Beatrice and get back the money. She knows the perfect man for the job, Vladimir, an ex Russian diplomat, the only caveat being, Vladimir needs a hefty sum in advance must borrow from his oldest daughter whose marriage to a rich man is on the rocks. If circumstances require so, can a decent man turn to crime in opposition to his conscience? Yes, he can and he must. Will he get caught, or confess and give himself up; can he carry the burden that other people are punished for his mistakes and wrongdoings? Can an egoistic, self-centered womanizer ever admit his transgressions; realize he must change his ways to earn the respect of anyone, anyone, but mostly his immediate family? A tormented soul, an irreverent remake of Crime and Punishment, will his youngest daughter, Melanie who accuses her father of the possibly most horrible deed, complicity in the murder of her mother, will she see his innocence and come to his rescue at the end?
