Summary: Shelter Blues Rave Review:
Comment: This is an intriguing book that is organized around the lives of homeless shelter residents in a particularly unique facility in Boston. The shelter is located in a post-modern architecture anomaly, a masterpiece which was never completed, allowing the author to contemplate the idea of beautiful ruins, the sublime, and compare these ideas to the lives of the homeless residents. The book is incredible in that is meshes a wide range of theoretical approaches to studying sociology and attempts to discuss notions of experience, fear, and survival which are really difficult to take on. The book is not so much a case study, more a study of life and its effects.
