Kevin Baker's Dreamland (1999)

Brilliantly researched work of historical fiction. Set in the year 1910: Tammany battles against the Reform movement, and sweatshops litter the Lower East Side. The freak shows of Coney Island are a not-so-funny satire on life ... and Sigmund Freud gets lost in Harlem?
