Grand Central Winter by Caverly Stringer
A literary memoir of life on the streets of New York, it recounts the mind-numbing neglect, but also the shared solidarity, of men and women who live without shelter in cities around the world. Like Jack London, he is a self-educated story-teller of the first rank, and an embittered, hopeful survivor of extreme poverty, long-term homelessness, and addiction. This man can write!' - Kurt Vonnegut'
LEE STRINGER's journey from childhood homelessness in the '60s, to adult homelessness in the '80s, to his present career as a writer and lecturer, as told in Sleepaway School and Grand Central Winter, is one of the great odysseys of contemporary American life and letters. Stringer is the only board member of Project Renewal who is also a former patient of the facility. He is the two-time recipient of the Washington Irving Award and, in 2005, a Lannan Foundation Residency. He is a former editor of and columnist for Street News. His essays and articles have appeared in a variety of other publications, including the Nation, the New York Times, and Newsday. He lives in Mamaroneck, New York, where he also serves on the board of the Mamaroneck Public Libraries.
