Young & Alone in New York City

By Giovanni Vincenzo deSica

With his father long gone and his mother having passed away more than two years ago, Bill decided to leave rural Pennsylvania to find a new life for himself in New York City. Now, in his early 20's, Billl works as a dish washer at the Star Diner in the South Bronx and lives in a one room tenement apartment on the far west-side of midtown-Manhattan, "Hell's Kitchen." It's late April, 1963.We will share with him, two critical weeks in his young life, his adventures, trials, and experiences, as he tries to find companionship and love in this great capital of humanity, where flesh, concrete, and steel meld together to create and dominate a unique, challenging landscape.We are there with him as he strugges to find himself, as he encounters the meaty fisted Subway Cashier, the snortorious Dish-Washer, the lecherous middle-aged Subway Rider, the Puerto Rican gang, Old "Che si Dice" John, Landlady Callaghan, the sensual young Stoop-Sitter, the Marilyn Monroe Wannabe, the voluptuous narrow-waisted Maria, and Sylvie Tightlie-Ernst and Fieldy Jonson.City adventures can be dangerous for a rural boy, especially when you're young and alone in New York City.
