Hipsters are getting slashed to pieces in the hippest neighborhood in New York: Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Filled with a cast of colorful characters and told with sardonic wit, this fast-moving, intricately plotted novel plays out against a backdrop of rapid gentrification, skyrocketing rents, and class tension.
