商品簡介
A New York Times Notable Book
As seen in People and USA Today and featured on CBS This Morning, CNN, and NPR
“Stringer gives us the long view of New York’s underbelly, born of pain but delivered with style and heart.”—John Jiller, The New York Times Book Review
“Stringer’s crisp detail, straight no-chaser wit, and uncompromising frankness are as bracing as his subject is significant.”—Booklist
In the underground tunnels below Grand Central Terminal, Lee Stringer—homeless and drug-addicted over the course of eleven years—found a pencil to run through his crack pipe. One day, he used it to write. Soon, writing became a habit that won over drugs. And before long, Stringer had created one of the most powerful urban memoirs of our time.
With humane wisdom and a biting wit, Lee Stringer chronicles the unraveling of his seemingly secure existence running a graphic design company and his odyssey of survival on the streets of New York City. Whether he recounts taking shelter underneath Grand Central by night and collecting cans by day or making a living hawking Street News on the subway, Stringer conveys the vitality and complexity of a down-and-out life. Rich with small acts of kindness, humor, and even heroism amid violence and desperation, Grand Central Winter offers a touching portrait of our shared humanity.
This paperback edition now features four new chapters chronicling events since the original publication of Grand Central Winter in 1998.
