From the Publisher:
Read this book for a touching, brutal, hilarious book about growing up in Hell's Kitchen in the 50's. I didn't get a chance to meet the author until years after we had published this book. The occassion of our meeting was a dinner in New York to discuss his new book, SLEEPERS. I had read SLEEPERS the night before, was totally blown away by it and predicted at dinner that night that SLEEPERS would go on to be a New York Times hardcover bestseller .. which it did!! It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. If you've already read SLEEPERS, read A SAFE PLACE to learn more about the man. If you haven't read SLEEPERS, read this one anyway...a fine book by a special guy.
