Imagine a grungy north Jersey version of John McPhee's classic
The Pine Barrens
and you'll get some idea of the idiosyncratic, fact-filled, and highly original work that is Robert Sullivan's
The Meadowlands
. Just five miles west of New York City, this vilified, half-developed, half-untamed, much dumped-on, and sometimes odiferous tract of swampland is home to rare birds and missing bodies, tranquil marshes and a major sports arena, burning garbage dumps and corporate headquarters, the remains of the original Penn Stationand maybe, just ,maybe, of the late Jimmy Hoffa. Robert Sullivan proves himself to be this fragile yet amazingly resilient region's perfect expolorer, historian, archaeologist, and comic bard.
