By Mikkel Jensen

David Simon's American city examines the work of showrunner David Simon, creator of acclaimed television serials The Wire, Treme and The Deuce. Situating these television serials in their real world context of twenty-first-century America, the book explores how Simon's work responds to dominant discourses about the state of the American city.
