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: "The lady used the shampoo on her own hair"
The real skinny (according to Boy): Evie obviously recalled a number of details that I missed. I think Evie really did remember what the lady looked like, and what she was wearing. Evie simply remembers things like that. We both recalled that the lady used the shampoo on her own hair. And, I do remember that her hair looked soft and shiny. I think that the reason we went shopping at the pet store did have to do with Mister having fleas. Otherwise, we would have used baby shampoo, or something cheap like that.
