Humor
Laura Pedersen, author of bestseller Play Money and
award-winning Buffalo Gal, serves up a hilarious
memoir about three decades of city life. Originally from
Buffalo, New York, friends thought the seventeen-year-old
was suffering from blizzard delirium when she left for
Manhattan. Pedersen experiences her adopted city in the best
and worst of times while becoming the youngest person to
have a seat on the stock exchange, performing stand-up
comedy, and writing a column in the New York Times.
Neighborhoods that feature chai bars, Pilates studios, and
Gymboree were once drug dens, ganglands, and shantytowns. A
trip to Central Park often ended in Central Booking,
identifying a perp in a lineup. New Yorkers are as
diverse as the city they so colorfully inhabit, cautious but
generous, brash but welcoming. Both are captured through the
comedic eye of Pedersen. Enjoy an uproarious romp down
memory lane as the city emerges as the modern metropolis we
know today.
