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: "It was the kind of food that melts in your mouth as you savor each bite"
The real skinny (according to Girl): Zum Zum was a real place, on the East Side of Avenue of the Americas, between NYU and the bank where I worked. We would order one paper mug of the German Potato Salad with two spoons and a coffee. This provided the lunch for our day. It was the kind of food that melts in your mouth as you savor each bite. I tried making it at home, but it did not have the same zing. I think I was missing some ingredients. Maybe the original had some brown sugar in it. Now that I think about it, brown sugar does seem to make everything sweet and yummy.
