Book Reviews of Dreaming of Columbus : A Boyhood in the Bronx
Book Review: A Brilliant Memoir
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend of mine from the Bronx told me about this book, and I'm glad she did. This if a beautifully written story that gets at the truth of both the time and the heart. The Bronx is a place that seems mythic and all too real to me and this writer keeps both of those images alive.
