review: tabloid city by pete hamill

Pete Hamill’s Tabloid City is incredibly disjointed with numerous characters and plots taking place. The primary story is about the collapse of a newspaper, but that story gets lost in the multitude of others, many of which had no bearing on the rest of the story. The other story that’s at the forefront doesn’t even develop until about one-third of the way into the book because so much time is wasted on the other minor plots.
