After he loses his two most important male role models, his father and grandfather, his mother uses her inheritance to uproot Matthew and herself to a posh apartment building in Manhattan. Although only three miles from his boyhood home, "the city" is a completely new and strange world. Soon, he befriends (and becomes a quasi-assistant to) Lou Reed, who lives with his transgender girlfriend in the same building. And the drug-addled, artistic/shamanic musician will eventually become an unorthodox father figure to Matthew, as he moves toward adulthood, adjusts to a new life, and falls head over heels for a girl wise beyond her years.</p> <p>"Imperioli can definitely write, and he gets high marks for the verisimilitude and empathy that he evokes."—<i>Booklist</i> (starred review)</p> <p>"A coming-of-age tale dashed with relatable angst and humor."—<i>Entertainment Weekly</i></p>"Some fictional trips into 1970s New York abound with nostalgia; this novel memorably opts for grit and heartbreak."—<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>.
