Title: Space, place and crime
Review: The Devil in the White City is a ripping good read, but it's also chock-a-block full of information. Where other reviews mention that Larson's work tells the story of two men, they seem to overlook that it tells an equally fascinating account about architecture, geography, urban planning, political machinations, civic rivalry, and social conditions, as well as marking a pivotal turning point in the way the Western city is imagined and constructed. I wonder if it is, in fact, only in such an urban environment as the Black City (Chicago beyond the grounds of the world's fairgrounds of the White City) that such horrific crime can occur; in the smaller towns and villages, hidden murderers could benefit so much less from the anonymity of their victims. Perhaps it is the post-White City urban world that has allowed the serial killer monster to thrive, where we knew them not before that time. I heartily recommend this book to anyone who wants a page-turner that also makes you think.
