A young boy with a mysterious past forever transforms the lives of the neighborhood toughs. A man returns to his old haunts to avenge the death of his brother. A couple chooses to embrace their memories of a bygone era rather than live in a diminished future. These are stories of a New York almost lost but not forgotten. They read like messages from a vanished age, brimming over with nostalgia (which Hamill has called the most common New York emotion), for the world after the war, the city before heroin and crack, the days of the Dodgers and Giants, even, for some, the world of the Depression. Full of pieces that have been unavailable for years, this collection is classic Hamill -- a must-read for his fans, for those who love New York, and for anyone who seeks to understand the world today through the lens of the world that once was. 650 0 $a Brooklyn (New York, N.Y.) $x Fiction. 941 $a 13 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417012430.0 952 $l GVPC501 $d 20231222012449.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021013914.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220104014538.0 952 $l JEPA911 $d 20200916160221.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829012452.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204054257.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110040150.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006065711.0 952 $l RSPC135 $d 20180623053540.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418092147.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150926020201.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20130308010955.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=72AFE1822FBB11E29F6D35D66AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
