Jumping back and forth from one age to another, it is presented through the eyes of a boy as he lived and saw life there. Red Hook describes experiences which would not ordinarily be associated with living in New York, or any other large city. Through anecdote and humour the author sets out to explain how he learned to see life, and what formed him as a writer.
