Description
Greenwich Village Vignettes is a collection of short stories or vignettes chronicling a boy's coming of age during the time period after the Second World War to the close of the tumultuous and life-changing decade of the 1960s. The area was always known for its artists, bohemians, and intellectuals. My world consisted of an Italian-American ghetto with all the hopes, pitfalls, and myriad characters such an environment produced. Pictures emerge that are happy, sad, funny, poignant, and tragic. Pictures of life that are a homage to the Greenwich Village I knew and grew up in and to those who passed through there with me. These recollections are based upon factual events. To a limited degree, sequences have been rearranged or juxtaposed to fit the story line. Ultimately, it is a memoir and not a document of history. Any failure to be exact is due to the many years that separate me from their occurrence. It is what I remember, and relying upon that, in itself, exposes its fallibility.
