Anthony Gonzales presents a collection of drawings of boys from the Bronx, set against the backdrop of New York's tumultuous neighbourhoods. All of his men loiter on the city streets - shoulders hunched, heads bobbing up and down, loose-jointed limbs swinging and hands deeply thrust in even looser jeans to conceal their manly excitement. These are tough men, having it their own way.

We played stickball games outside Beekman's candy store, as young teenagers, almost every day of the week, from spring until the first snowflake fell. A line drive off Beekman's store window brought him flying out the front door, white apron strings trailing behind him. A broomstick might fly from a batter's hands and rocket toward Beekman's front windows. Unofficial records and fading memories indicate that although Mr. Beekman may have lost his breath on several occasions during our stickball games, he never lost a window. In this engaging memoir, author Marty Toohey paints a vibrant portrait of growing up in the Bronx during the 1930s and 40s. In the Bronx's cultural melting pot, Toohey and his friends delighted in the simple pleasures of life. Toohey shares his memories of roasting stolen potatoes or "mickies" in an empty lot on 167th Street, of the milkman's horse tapping an early morning cadence on the cobblestones of Fulton Avenue, and of hiding from the nuns at St. Augustine's Church, known as the "Cathedral of the Bronx." Brimming with the simple charm of the past, Bronx Boy is rich with details, transporting its readers into a forgotten time of innocence.

Richard Price, Academy Award nominated screenwriter and mainstream author of The Wanderers says, "I read through [Lost Boys of the Bronx] in one sitting - It was GREAT!" Straight from the streets of the mid-1960s Bronx comes a book about one of the borough's most feared gangs - The Ducky Boys. While their unusual name alone might contradict their reputation, in the Norwood/Bainbridge section of the Bronx their appearances provoked an ominous dread. So much so, that when Richard Price needed inspiration for a terrifying gang in his novel (and later movie) The Wanderers, he knew exactly which gang to choose. Lost Boys of the Bronx tells the story of the Ducky Boys in their own words. It is a story of how a few pre-teen kids in the Botanical Gardens turned into a gang of hundreds - and a gang so alarming that rumors of their arrival would shut down local schools. This is also a study of the mostly Irish Bronx neighborhood in which the Ducky Boys were born, and where so many of the Ducky kids got caught up in the tumultuous times of the '60s where their fierce loyalty was the only thing that got them through. This is not your typical gang book. It neither praises nor demonizes the gang for the things they did, but rather simply reports what happened - warts and all. You'll see the truth behind the Ducky Boys' gang - their lives, their loves, their pranks and crimes, and so much more. To borrow from a particular product's slogan - with a name like the Ducky Boys, you knew they HAD to be tough.

In Bronx Boy, Book One of The Zombie Island Trilogy, Firpo begins his journey through the one way door of eternity in search of life's ultimate revelation. It is 1959 in New York City. A serial killer is loose in Central Park and a copy cat killer, of sorts, prowls Firpo's Bronx. Firpo is thirteen years old and his faith is being tested by the world around him-family, friends, mysterious creatures known as girls, even by his beloved baseball Giants. Firpo confronts the confusion that comes with adolescence while the police struggle to capture the serial killer, and he and his friends strain their wits to identify their neighborhood's copy cat killer. As events unfold, Firpo grapples with life's many mysteries, sweet and otherwise. In the process, he questions what place faith holds in his journey through life. As he closes in on the answer, Firpo realizes the journey has only just begun.

The origin story of hip-hop—one that involves Kool Herc DJing a house party on Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx—has become received wisdom. But Joseph C. Ewoodzie Jr. argues that the full story remains to be told. In vibrant prose, he combines never-before-used archival material with searching questions about the symbolic boundaries that have divided our understanding of the music. In Break Beats in the Bronx, Ewoodzie portrays the creative process that brought about what we now know as hip-hop and shows that the art form was a result of serendipitous events, accidents, calculated successes, and failures that, almost magically, came together. In doing so, he questions the unexamined assumptions about hip-hop's beginnings, including why there are just four traditional elements—DJing, MCing, breaking, and graffiti writing—and not others, why the South Bronx and not any other borough or city is considered the cradle of the form, and which artists besides Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, and Grandmaster Flash founded the genre. Ewoodzie answers these and many other questions about hip-hop's beginnings. Unearthing new evidence, he shows what occurred during the crucial but surprisingly underexamined years between 1975 and 1979 and argues that it was during this period that the internal logic and conventions of the scene were formed.

Vito Sparo is a member of an exclusive members-only club in Brooklyn. What no one knows is that the club is just a front for a mob family led by Sonny, an up-and-coming boss seemingly destined to take the number one leadership role in the mob. Now that Sonny is a self-made boss, he does not need to do the dirty work anymore. He leaves that up to his fellow mobsters that include the Duke, Carmine, Dillinger, and Vito. Sonny takes no chances when it comes to the feds. In a time when right is right and wrong is wrong, he directs his men on bloody missions that repay favors, punish disloyalty, and pay off debts. Vito, who is known for thinking with an angle and living by his vow to never kill an innocent person, dutifully tags along on hits that take out scumbags and thugs, celebrating each hit with Sonny at a strip club. Through it all, he still finds time for love with his girlfriendthe one he will fiercely protect with whatever means necessary. The Boys of Brooklyn share a hard-hitting, behind the scenes story about organized crime from the perspective of a mobster who lived his life dedicated to his boss and his organized crime family.
