One day, he used it to write. Soon, writing became a habit that won out over drugs. And soon, Lee 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 as a marketing executive, and his odyssey of survival on the streets of New York City. Whether he is portraying \"God's corner,\" as he calls 42nd Street, or his friend Suzi, a hooker and \"past-due tourist\" whose infant he sometimes baby-sits; 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, Lee 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.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Washington Square Press","offers":[{"title":"Grand Central Winter: Stories from the Street | Lee Stringer | Paperback | 9780671036546 | Used: Like New | Memoir 1673756","offer_id":50722534392066,"sku":"1673756","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Central Winter: Stories from the Street | Lee Stringer | Paperback | 9780671036546 | Used: Like New | Memoir 1680061","offer_id":50797100368130,"sku":"1680061","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71bNmQ77J1L.jpg?v=1791835782","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/grand-central-winter-stories-from-the-street-1","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
