Boy Outa Brooklyn

Boy Outa Brooklyn is a murder-memoir driven by my obsession with the unsolved murder of my friend – Carrie. This small town girl was slaughtered in the big city over forty years ago.

Boy Outa Brooklyn is a forensic examination of her death and my life. It zips from the violent streets of my Brooklyn boyhood to the porn-drenched streets of Times Square. This is the world of Goodfellas,Taxi Driver and The Deuce and the world where Carrie came to die.

Boy Outa Brooklyn is a celebration of lost New York written by a dissolute altar boy and unregenerate White Guy.

Boy Outa Brooklyn is a hard-boiled detective story and picaresque “Diary Of An Actor You Never Heard Of” filled with tales of flops, fights and fucks on both sides of the Atlantic.

Fans of Henry Miller, Lenny Bruce, Philip Roth, Jean Shepherd, David Sedaris and Iceberg Slim will enjoy reading this heart-breaking and hilarious memoir.
