Publisher's Synopsis

Home is a Sewer is a book about growing up in New York City in the 40s and 50s and about the role street games played. The games open a window on the times, on the relationship between parents and children, on neighbors and neighborhoods, on bullying, on favoritism, on cheating, and petty sadisms, and on the democracy among children that developed in the streets. The book is meant to make us remember, and help us explain our childhood to our children and grandchildren.
