Through the eyes of Cormac O'Connor—granted immortality as long as he never leaves the island of Manhattan—we watch New York grow from a tiny settlement on the tip of an untamed wilderness to the thriving metropolis of today. And through Cormac's remarkable adventures in both love and war, we come to know the city's buried secrets—the way it has been shaped by greed, race, and waves of immigration, by the unleashing of enormous human energies, and, above all, by hope.]]>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C539374https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C539374Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMThttps://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/539374980EBOOKA Novelenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316196253/MC.GIF&client=notsobplp&type=xw12&oclc=https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C514469https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C514469Sat, 31 Jan 1998 00:00:00 GMThttps://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/514469075BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316347969/MC.GIF&client=notsobplp&type=xw12&oclc=https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C6713776https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C6713776Mon, 31 Jan 1994 00:00:00 GMThttps://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6713776075BKA Memoirenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316341080/MC.GIF&client=notsobplp&type=xw12&oclc=https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C5034858https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C5034858Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMThttps://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5034858075BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316347174/MC.GIF&client=notsobplp&type=xw12&oclc=https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C1534909https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C1534909Sun, 31 Jan 1999 00:00:00 GMThttps://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1534909075LPRINTenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780786217533/MC.GIF&client=notsobplp&type=xw12&oclc=In honor of Sinatra's 100th birthday, Pete Hamill's classic tribute returns with a new introduction by the author.
In this unique homage to an American icon, journalist and award-winning author Pete Hamill evokes the essence of Sinatra—examining his art and his legend from the inside, as only a friend of many years could do. Shaped by Prohibition, the Depression, and war, Francis Albert Sinatra became the troubadour of urban loneliness. With his songs, he enabled millions of others to tell their own stories, providing an entire generation with a sense of tradition and pride belonging distinctly to them.
With a new look and a new introduction by Hamill, this is a rich and touching portrait that lingers like a beautiful song.]]>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C212801https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C212801Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMThttps://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/212801980EBOOKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316069540/MC.GIF&client=notsobplp&type=xw12&oclc=This bestselling memoir from a seasoned New York City reporter is "a vivid report of a journey to the edge of self-destruction" (New York Times).
As a child during the Depression and World War II, Pete Hamill learned early that drinking was an essential part of being a man, inseparable from the rituals of celebration, mourning, friendship, romance, and religion. Only later did he discover its ability to destroy any writer's most valuable tools: clarity, consciousness, memory.
In A Drinking Life, Hamill explains how alcohol slowly became a part of his life, and how he ultimately left it behind. Along the way, he summons the mood of an America that is gone forever, with the bittersweet fondness of a lifelong New Yorker.
"Magnificent. A Drinking Life is about growing up and growing old, working and trying to work, within the culture of drink." —Boston Globe]]>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C201946https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C201946Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMThttps://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/201946980EBOOKA Memoirenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316054539/MC.GIF&client=notsobplp&type=xw12&oclc=https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C1193084https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C1193084Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMThttps://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1193084075BKA Novelenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316340588/MC.GIF&client=notsobplp&type=xw12&oclc=Recreating 1930s New York with the vibrancy and rich detail that are his trademarks, Pete Hamill weaves a story of honor, family, and one man's simple courage that no reader will soon forget.
It is 1934, and New York City is in the icy grip of the Great Depression. With enormous compassion, Dr. James Delaney tends to his hurt, sick, and poor neighbors, who include gangsters, day laborers, prostitutes, and housewives. If they can't pay, he treats them anyway.
But in his own life, Delaney is emotionally numb, haunted by the slaughters of the Great War. His only daughter has left for Mexico, and his wife Molly vanished months before, leaving him to wonder if she is alive or dead. Then, on a snowy New Year's Day, the doctor returns home to find his three-year-old grandson on his doorstep, left by his mother in Delaney's care. Coping with this unexpected arrival, Delaney hires Rose, a tough, decent Sicilian woman with a secret in her past. Slowly, as Rose and the boy begin to care for the good doctor, the numbness in Delaney begins to melt.]]>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C131852https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C131852Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMThttps://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/131852980EBOOKA
