The TRAX series tells a love story. Volumes one through three are set in the boroughs of New York, 1968-72. She was a skinny wisp of a girl, and he was a graduate student at NYU. They drove a Mustang, a Chevy pickup truck, owned two big dogs, and rented a studio in Alphabet City. He was a diamond courier after classes and she worked at the bank. The charm of the book is the events they each recall, and the way the details are remembered-after forty years.

The Real Skinny: "I did not know that hairspray and a match could make a fire torch"
The real skinny (according to Girl): It was Christmas break. We were headed for my company Christmas party. Mike did the Polka that night; I think it was his first time. We got rather smashed and I did not dare go home, so we got a room, got pizza and the ants invited themselves to join us for some holiday punch and munchies. I did not know that hairspray and a match could make a fire torch, but we stomped it out and did not set off the fire alarms. Whew!
