"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."--Sherryl Connelly, New York
Daily News
"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 Daily News is a good read in Hamill's
hands."--Michael Hill, San Francisco Chronicle
"New York City is the lead actor in the best of Hamill's
writing...and it steals the show."--Julie Wittes Schlack, Boston
Globe
"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."--Scott Stephens, Cleveland
Plain Dealer
PRAISE FOR PETE HAMILL: "Few people have written quite so
beautifully about New York as Hamill has in recent years."--Tim
Rutten, Los Angeles Times
