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 still wonder what he needed bodyguards for"
The real skinny (according to Girl): My only regret was that I did not have anything for an autograph. I still wonder what he needed bodyguards for.
I am pretty sure that it was the Waldorf—I remember the gold and the glitz. The adventure, as I remember it, occurred the evening before, not the morning after. I will never forget my experience in the land of the giants—little Girl David, and Goliath Wilt.
