This is a history of the Westbeth artists' collective, a fixture in New York's Greenwich Village for decades. It provides affordable housing for those in the arts and is a community unto itself, as well as having been home to famous artists, writers, photographers, dancers, and musicians. Former and current residents recall their lives at Westbeth; there is humor and tragedy. There's a mysteriousness to Westbeth as well as questions that will never be answered. Excellent read for those in the arts.

Thanks to NetGalley for the eARC.
