When we think of the Bronx, New York in the 1960s, we think of an apartment above a grocery store named Emil s, on the corner of 224th Street and Carpenter Avenue. Not a bad time to be alive, not a bad place to live, a cop on every corner and, according to author R. Tony, no shortage of wackos in my neighborhood. Not every children s story includes murder, crime, and profanity, writes the author. In Stories to My Grandchildren, the author takes a compelling look back at the people he knew from his youth through often amusing (and sometimes harrowing) vignettes, pulling no punches when describing his clear-eyed view of those days. Written in a fast-paced, conversational style, this is a realistic, gritty glimpse into the seedy underside of the Big Apple. With no need for overly sentimental nostalgia, R. Tony treats his readers to a veritable cornucopia of colorful characters. Billy Gonzalez, Pinhead, Big Joe the Bouncer, Al the Hustler, and Al s cousin Louie, whose wife could aggravate a corpse, are just some of those portrayed as part of the author s larger world in those days. R. Tony sees and writes about the 1960s New York City in his own way, creating entertaining and memorable stories, all drawn from personal experience. He acknowledges that his neighborhood has changed over the years and not always for the better. Paperback, Label: Vantage Press, Vantage Press, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 2010-01-01, Studio: Vantage Press, Verkaufsrang: 15334644.
