Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A collection of short stories about a long-gone Brooklyn from the legendary New York writer Pete Hamill. </b><br /><br /> Pete Hamill's collected stories about Brooklyn present a New York almost lost but not forgotten. They read like messages from a vanished age, brimming with nostalgia: for the world after the war, the days of the Dodgers and Giants, and even, for some, the years of Prohibition and the Depression.<br /><br /><i>The Christmas Kid</i> is vintage Hamill. Set in the borough where he was born and raised, it is a must-read for his many fans, for all who love New York, and for anyone who seeks to understand the world today through the lens of the world that once was.<br /><br /><b>"Hamill, a master raconteur, mines his own roots in this enchanting new anthology." --<i>New York Times</i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Hamill sees a world almost gone by. Those who would dismiss that world as nostalgia might consider what in today's NewYork will they have to lovingly evoke years from now."--<b>Sherryl Connelly</b>, <b><i>New York Daily News</b></i><br><br>"Hamill tells a good yarn and has a knack for drawing empathetic portraits of rogues and rule benders....Even a bicycle ride to the store to pick up the <i>Daily News</i> is a good read in Hamill's hands."--<b>Michael Hill</b>, <b><i>San Francisco Chronicle</b></i><br><br>"New York City is the lead actor in the best of Hamill's writing...and it steals the show."--<b>Julie Wittes Schlack</b>, <b><i>Boston Globe</b></i><br><br>"With his reporter's eye for detail and a tough-but-tender lyricism, the Brooklyn-bred Hamill brings modern-day New York to life by illuminating its colorful past."--<b>Scott Stephens</b>, <b><i>Cleveland Plain Dealer</b></i><br><br>PRAISE FOR PETE HAMILL: <p/>"Few people have written quite so beautifully about New York as Hamill has in recent years."--<b>Tim Rutten</b>, <b><i>Los Angeles Times</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Pete Hamill</b> (1935-2020) was a novelist, journalist, editor, and screenwriter. He was the author of twenty-two books, including the bestselling novels <i>Tabloid City</i>, <i>North River</i>, <i>Forever</i>, and <i>Snow in August</i>, and the bestselling memoir <i>A Drinking Life</i>.
