Owen Hatherley writes regularly on aesthetics and politics for, among others, the Architectural Review, the Calvert Journal, Dezeen, the Guardian, Jacobin, and the London Review of Books. He is the author of several books, including, Red Metropolis: Socialism and the Government of London, Artificial Islands: Adventures in the Dominions and Modern Buildings in Britain: A Gazetteer.

"Hatherley goes West — into the Great Satan — armed with sarcasm, Socialism, sturdy shoes. He takes on the New York Ideology and its sacred cows. He celebrates a little-known fact: New York has more cheap public housing than anywhere else in North America. As always, he's a skewer and a seer."
