Lee Stringer
Grand Central Winter : A Story from the Streets of New York City
Review UK 1999. Trade Paperback. Very Good. Trade Paperback. 250 pages. PUBLISHING DETAILS: Review UK 1999. CONDITION: This book is in very good condition. More specifically: Covers have no creasing. Spine has minor lean and minimal reading creases. . Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Whether Lee Stringer is describing "God's corner" as he calls 42nd Street or his friend Suzy a hooker and "past due tourist" whose infant child he sometimes babysits whether he is recounting his experiences at Street News where he began hawking the newspaper for a living wage then wrote articles and served for a time as muckraking senior editor whether it is his adventures in New York's infamous Tombs jail or performing community service or sleeping in the tunnels below Grand Central Station by night and collecting cans by day this is a book rich with small acts of kindness humor and even heroism alongside the expected violence and desperation of life on the street. There is always room Stringer writes "amid the costume" jewel glitter.for one more diamond in the rough." Two events rise over Grand Central Winter like sentinels: Stringer's discovery of crack cocaine and his catching the writing bug. Between these two very different yet oddly similar activities Lee's life unwound itself during the 1980s and took the shape of an odyssey an epic struggle to find meaning and happiness in arid times. He eventually beat the first addiction with help from a treatment program. The second addiction writing has hold of him still. Among the many accomplishments of this book is that Stringer is able to convey something of the vitality and complexity of a downandout life. The reader walks away from it humming its melody one that is more wise than despairing less about the shame we feel when confronted with a picture of those less fortunate and more about the joy we feel when we experience our shared humanity.

When her siblings failed him by rejecting the bohemian performing life Mandy saw her chance to become a character in his stories part of the only life he really loved. So she learned to tap-dance and they set off together to satisfy their grand ambitions on the toughest stage in the world - New York. Driven by the dream of making it big Mandy and Gerry arrived in the city with no place to stay and only costumes to their names. They became part of the thrilling precarious world of street performers - jugglers magicians fire-eaters dancers - who eked out their livings at the mercy of the elements the cops complaining neighbours and lurking thieves. in cinematic detial Sayer tells of the first exhilarating season in New York City earning $200 a night on Columbus Avenue; offsetting the physical pain of endless performance with the incomparable rush that accompanied it; the lond difficult winter in New Orleans surviving on avocadoes and raw vegetables in unheated apartments; and their final unforgettable return to New York.

For ultimately "Dreamtime Alice" is a triumphant record of a young woman's discovery that she could create her own story at last. Quantity Available: 1.

Intrigued Lisa sat at Stanford's kitchen table and watched. And she listened to his story. Stanford spent his teenage years busting broncos seducing girls and dealing drugs. At twenty he left the house for another night of partying. By morning a violent accident had robbed him of his physical prowess and left in its place unwelcome spiritual powers - an exchange so shocking that Stanford spent several years trying to kill himself. Eventually he surrendered to his new life and mysterious gifts. Over the years Lisa was a frequent visitor to Stanford's place the reservation and its people worked on her exposing and healing the places where she too was broken. This is her story intertwined with Stanford's and it explores powerful spirits material poverty spiritual wealth friendship violence confusion death and above all else love. Quantity Available: 1.

ABOUT THIS BOOK: Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington was the greatest jazz composer of the twentieth century--and an impenetrably enigmatic personality whom no one not even his closest friends claimed to understand. The grandson of a slave he dropped out of high school to become one of the world's most famous musicians a showman of incomparable suavity who was as comfortable in Carnegie Hall as in the nightclubs where he honed his style. He wrote some fifteen hundred compositions many of which like "Mood Indigo" and "Sophisticated Lady" remain beloved standards and he sought inspiration in an endless string of transient lovers concealing his inner self behind a smiling mask of flowery language and ironic charm. As the biographer of Louis Armstrong Terry Teachout is uniquely qualified to tell the story of the public and private lives of Duke Ellington. Duke peels away countless layers of Ellington's evasion and public deception to tell the unvarnished truth about the creative genius who inspired Miles Davis to say "All the musicians should get together one certain day and get down on their knees and thank Duke."
