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: "We could smell it wafting around the streets and sidewalks, drifting from slightly open kitchen windows"
The real skinny (according to Girl): The German neighborhood where we first lived always kept family traditions. Sundays and Sauerbraten was one of those traditions. We could smell it wafting around the streets and sidewalks, drifting from slightly open kitchen windows. Each matronly wife kept and passed down the family recipes from generation to generation. On occasion, Mike and I were invited to share a Sunday dinner with our truly wonderful landlord. It was always very enjoyable.
