His debut novel, set in 1970s New York and culminating in the infamous July 1977 blackout, is an expansive look at the era. Spanning the nascent punk scene, a shooting in Central Park, the fiscal crisis, and more, Hallberg’s powerful narrative depicts a city and a country struggling to move on after the upheavals of the Vietnam War.
