As for Low Life, if you liked the historical detail in the
Alienist, you
wlll love this book. Evidence is a collection of vintage
crime scene
photos Sante collected while rooting through old police files
while
researching Low Life.
The author's bio in Low Life lists many magazines he has
written for,
but I've only read one article by him. It was a very good one
called
"The Glamorization of Violence" in the 9/94 Vogue (US). The
article
opens with H. Rap Brown's assertion, "Violence is as American
as apple
pie."
Finally, a little bit of trivia, Sante wrote the lyrics for a
few songs
by the Del Byzanteens, an early-80s New York band featuring
filmmaker
Jim Jarmusch.
