Grieving over the death of his partner, Bill Hayes came to New York in 2009 with little idea of how he would get by. He discovered the profound consolations of the city and New Yorkers themselves, kindred spirits that Hayes encountered on late-night strolls with his camera. And he unexpectedly fell in love again, with his neighbour Oliver Sacks. Insomniac City is a love song to the city, a beautiful portrait of Sacks and a celebration of life.
A love song to a city!
