Janowitz draws trendy New York pop-artsies to a T. These New Yorkers are slaves to high rents, migratory relationships and, most significantly, their own contagious modishness. The protagonists share a shyness and a sense of always being out of place, although they try in earnest to fit in and they put on the wrong clothes or say the wrong thing or fail to grasp the subtle messages other people send their way.
'Slaves Of New York' is now a major motion picture starring Bernadette Peters and Chris Sarandon from Hendler/Merchant Ivory Productions from Tri-Star pictures.
