 The Last City Room 		 

Browsing Options:

It's almost a tradition in the city room of The San Francisco Herald for reporters to collapse at their desks, having worked, drank, and smoked themselves into an early grave. On these occasions the behavior required by the dead man's erstwhile colleagues -- a group of cynical old newshounds with skin the color of faded newsprint -- is to applaud, simultaneously hailing their fallen comrade and signaling an opening in the city room. It is in this manner that William Colfax, an ambitious young reporter and Vietnam War veteran, earns a coveted position as a staff member of this long respected newspaper. Colfax accepts the offer mere minutes after his predecessor's body has been carted away.

The Last City Room depicts the decline of an influential newspaper in San Francisco during the turbulent early 60s. As the conservatism of the old guard, led by the Herald's increasingly bitter publisher, clashes with the radical campus leaders ascending to power in the city, Colfax quickly realizes that the golden days of the Herald are long over. With his past threatening to ensnare him between the two warring factions, Colfax's struggle quickly becomes one of not simply proving himself as a journalist, but of maintaining his independence and integrity as a man.

The Last City Room is a provocative evocation of a time when the carefully woven social fabric of the country was just beginning to show signs of fraying. It is a tribute to the end of a newspaper and the beginning of a new electronic age. Not since Charles MacArthur wrote The Front Page has there been a more definitive look into the fading traditions and inherent madness of a passing era in American newspapers.

"Al Martinez has gifted us with a novel that is actually a time machine in disguise -- one that carries us back to the turbulent sixties...[The Last City Room] is that rare, always welcome work: a page-turner...
