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 would mix the dough and he would put it on the cookie sheet"
The real skinny (according to Girl): Sorry, Mike, Chef Boyardee Pizza put grated Parmesan, not mozzarella, into the second can in their box. I would mix the dough and he would put it on the cookie sheet. We found that if we buttered the cookie sheet, all except the corners, we could get the rubbery dough to adhere to those corners. Mr. and Mrs. Colombo were part of my "story." I developed the characters from the mixture of people anxious to help us with our Friday night feast.
