Higher: A Historic Race to the Sky and the Making of a City

by Neal Bascomb

About this title: Neal Bascomb tells the story of the 1929 race among three architects to build the tallest skyscraper in New York City, backgrounding the main story with the personal histories of the three competitors. He casts the narrative as a capitalist drama, detailing the role played in the competition--whose results would permanently affect the New York City skyline--by patron Walter Chrysler, and the intense rivalry between architects William Van Alen and Craig Severance. Descriptions of the political and cultural climates in New York and the United States during the 1920s contextualize the story.

Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is described below.
