Review:
"Stringer is engaging, funny, and informative and he has a wonderfully conversational voice, unaffected, occasionally poetic, modest and pleasant. Too conscious and artistic to demand our attention or understanding, he creates it."
Bob Blaisdell, Quarterly Black Review of Books, Jan/Feb 1999
Review:"We tend to forget the simple elements of the human spirit--love, pride, pity, compassion, dignity, hatred, longing....It is the confrontation of those contradictory human elements that make 'Grand Central Winter' by Lee Stringer such a provocative and haunting memoir."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review

Grand Central Winter (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780671036546) Stringer, Lee Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: SIMON SCHUSTER, United States, 1999. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 216 x 140 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery ***** Print on Demand *****. In the underground tunnels below Grand Central Terminal, Lee Stringer -- homeless and drug-addicted over the course of eleven years -- found a pencil to run through his crack pipe. 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.
