A book about Vegas's storm drains?!
A book about Vegas's storm drains?! This is a remarkable book - as deep and dark as the tunnels O'Brien spent a summer exploring. I am a regular visitor to Las Vegas and never imagined this world beneath my feet. O'Brien's book reveals hopelessness and dreams - misery and humour despite the conditions. I enjoyed the way O'Brien wove references to other tunnels (those of the Viet Cong, the Rome catacombs and Portland's Shanghai Tunnels). Like O'Brien I wondered how the poverty of the tunnels could exist beneath mega-wealth? As O'Brien explains: "In America, poverty always bows at the feet of corporate wealth.
