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.
