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 both hate funerals, but we tend to gravitate to cemeteries"
The real skinny (according to Boy): I think Evie was more on target than was I. There does seem to be something that attracts us to cemeteries. We both hate funerals, but we tend to gravitate to cemeteries. When we lived in Philadelphia, we spent hours and hours going through the historical cemeteries. In Glendale, we ran daily in a cemetery. Now, at sixty-five, I still run three days a week in a cemetery. This morning I saw the coolest group of three deer while I was running—in a cemetery.
