New York, New York, USA: Touchstone Books/Simon & Schuster, 2000. BH1 - A trade paperback book in near fine condition. A unread, tight, clean, sound copy in color illustrated wraps with only very minor overall shelf wear. A continuation of the author's autobiography. The years covered dwell on his arrival in New York, the challenge of adapting and fitting in. He finds himself driven to educate himself and be a writer almost even though he is not too certain why. He graduates, becomes a teacher, marries and has a child and Mum comes to live in New York City. An excellent picture of what it is to be an immigrant and, surprisingly, what it is to be a teacher of literature in high school. The author is a winner of the Pulitzer Prize.
