John Fleming grew up in the 1940's and '50's in Hell's Kitchen, a New York City slum, now gentrified. He wanted to show how it was at that time, since no writer he was aware of had told this story with the voice of one who had lived the experience. In this candid and often humorous memoir, Fleming shows it all. The dark side includes dirt, roaches, alcoholism, promiscuity, fighting, bullying, the embarrassment of living on welfare. But sprinkled throughout are moments of enjoyment-- frolicking in the water from a fire hydrant, playing chess on the roof with a buddy, diving off the Queen Mary's deck, discovering the enchantment of reading. John emerges at the age of 20 from the cocoon that is Hell's Kitchen as a strong adult, inured to hardship, alert to hypocrisy, ready to move to the next phase of his life. The story builds in a series of vignettes with powerful imagery and authentic dialogue. The characters speak in their own voices, and the narrator alternates between the voice of his young self as a participant and the voice of his adult self looking back. Hell's Kitchen comes alive in this unadorned portrayal of the life of its residents.

Moving to Arizona changed my life in several significant ways. I had a chance to go to college, something I had never even thought of. Then I met Marge and got married, so I was no longer a loner. My story became our story. Together we experienced parenthood, and then dived into the real estate profession. Later we ventured into Mexico and Mexican business--you'll hear about that too. As I was thinking about how to organize the experiences of our life together, I realized that many of them involved writing. It was a hugely significant part of my life, but since we did most of it together, we decided to tell the story of my life in Arizona--which became our life--as a team.

Now an adult, John has left behind the crowds and concrete of New York City for a totally different lifestyle among the lakes and forests of the upper Midwest. He works at different jobs, on an auto assembly line, in a bakery, as a Merchant Marine on the Great Lakes. Eventually the challenges of health and family convince him to move to Arizona.Here are some excerpts:The ice on the lake's shoreline is splashed and twisted by waves of blue clear water--frozen into a white maze of mangled towers."Jesus. What the hell are we dragging this boat over land for?""It's not dragging. We're portaging." Charley says, "We're supposed to do this with canoes on our shoulders. Not dragging a fucking speed boat." He's sweating, and the mosquitoes are swarming around us."It's just a little further, and we'll hit the river, and the rest will be easy."The few lights on the Minnesota shore line disappeared hours ago. I'm on deck sounding ballast tanks. The ship is skating placidly over Lake Superior, throbbing softly, leaving a gentle wake. It's a clear night, not a cloud or moon in the sky, just the stars and their dangling planets. Five globe-shaped lights move across the sky, passing the ship, then stop as though they had missed something, turn back, and hover over me. I can't tell if they are part of one unit or a squadron in a flight pattern, but they are obviously intelligent and watching me. Alone, out on the deck, and no place to run--hair stands up, heart pumps, tunnel vision. It's 300 feet to the stem or the stern. I could drop everything and run like hell, but-- but which way? That's dumb. These guys move at the speed of light. Since they don't have a clue about what I'm doing, I continue dropping the rod down the tanks and writing depths on the chart--like I'm doing something real important. Funny, now I get the feeling that they're in my head and scanning around to see what's in there--maybe I read too much science fiction. Yet I get this communication that they are having a meeting about what to do with me--maybe put me on their ship and do some experimenting . One alien wants to chop me up and do a remake. But this is all bullshit, I'm just making it up--I think.It's just like I thought. Gale winds coming off the lake in gusts, blowing my car around. The Russian boots are too big for the pedals. This sucks. What the hell have I done? Maybe if I take them off --will the socks be warm enough? It's twenty degrees below out there--will my feet freeze? Fuck, it's starting to snow, and the wiper is shit. Can't keep the car from sliding into the incoming lane--lucky there's no traffic. The radio says that the wind chill is fifty below--good thing I got these boots. Now I can feel my balls shrinking from the cold. My nose is running; I wipe it with my mitten and the snot crystallizes. Goddamn window is frosting up now--what the hell?Why didn't I move to Arizona? Sunny every day. Palm trees--do they have palm trees? Heat, lots of it. Run around in shorts and a T-shirt.One of the zombies comes up to the window. I see the red in his eyes. He has this string in his mouth and he's twirling it around like floss. He gives me this big smile.Another guy with a flat face and Chinese eyes sticks his drooling mouth in the window. Other heads are butting his to get a look at me. A few of them are flossers. "What's with the string?""Lots of them do that. It's part of the deal.""What deal?""The deal. The deal with the devil." Richie points through the window. "He's up there near the ceiling.""You're into your visions again.""Don't you see him up there?""Is that guy taking a crap on the floor?"

In 1914, Hell’s Kitchen is an apt name for New York City’s grittiest neighborhood, as one of the city’s first policewomen, Louise Faulk, is about to discover when the death of a young prostitute leads her on a grim journey through the district’s darkest corners . . . Filthy, dangerous, and deadly—Hell’s Kitchen is no place for a lady, but Louise Faulk is no ordinary woman. The amateur investigator turned rookie policewoman is investigating the death of young prostitute, Ruthie, who leaves behind a baby boy. Although detectives are quick to declare it a suicide, Louise is less certain after she discovers clues implying murder while attempting to find a caretaker for Ruthie’s orphaned son. Uncovering the truth won’t be easy, especially since Louise is struggling to make a name for herself amid the boys’ club of the New York City Police Department. But Ruthie’s case keeps tugging at Louise, luring her beyond the slums’ drawn curtains and tenement doors, into an undercover investigation that often seems to conceal more than it reveals. Louise is convinced Ruthie’s secrets got her killed, but can she prove it before they catch up to her too?

An unforgettable true story of friendship, loyalty, violence and revenge, set against the unmistakable backdrop of New York City. Now a major film starring Dustin Hoffman, Brad Pitt, Robert de Niro and Kevin Bacon. Four boys - lifelong friends who shared everything - in the confines of New York City's Hell's Kitchen, content with playing as many pranks as they can without getting caught. Until one disastrous afternoon. When a harmless scheme goes terribly wrong, the boys are left facing a year's imprisonment in the Wilkinson Home for Boys, and the beatings and abuse they find there will change their lives forever. In the years that follow, one will become a lawyer, one a reporter, and two will grow to become hitmen for-hire. But for all of them, the legacy of Wilkinson - the pain, fear and anger - still rages on within. Only revenge will erase it. One final, audacious stand against a corrupt system. If they are caught this time, the only thing to lose is their lives.

From the basketball court, to the shores of the Hudson, to Central Park, Times Square , the Ferry to Jersey, Pier 84, and Christmastime on 42nd Street they are all enjoyable and entertaining. It was a wild time in Hells Kitchen and Chuck added to the wildness with enthusiasm.From playing with rocks and a broom on the farm fantasizing that he was Ted Williams to an altercation on the basketball court with Slim in NY City was a transition that he accomplished likened to obtaining his paratrooper wings. The stories tell it all.

Everyone thinks they know the real Gordon Ramsay: rude, loud, pathologically driven, stubborn as hell For the first time, Ramsay tells the full inside story of his life and how he became the world's most famous and infamous chef: his difficult childhood, his brother's heroin addiction, his failed first career as a soccer player, his fanatical pursuit of gastronomic perfection and his TV persona—all of the things that made him the celebrated culinary talent and media powerhouse that he is today. In Roasting in Hell's Kitchen Ramsay talks frankly about his tough and emotional childhood, including his father's alcoholism and violence and their effect on his relationships with his mother and siblings. His rootless upbringing saw him moving from house to house and town to town followed by the authorities and debtors as his father lurched from one failed job to another. He recounts his short-circuited career as a soccer player, when he was signed by Scotland's premier club at the age of fifteen but then, just two years later, dropped out when injury dashed his hopes. Ramsay searched for another vocation and, much to his father's disgust, went into catering, which his father felt was meant for “poofs.” He trained under some of the most famous and talented chefs in Europe, working to exacting standards and under extreme conditions that would sometimes erupt in physical violence. But he thrived, with his exquisite palate, incredible vision and relentless work ethic. Dish by dish, restaurant by restaurant, he gradually built a Michelin-starred empire. A candid, eye-opening look into the extraordinary life and mind of an elite and unique restaurateur and chef, Roasting in Hell's Kitchen will change your perception not only of Gordon Ramsay but of the world of cuisine.

You don't know what hell is until you try to get out of it... The moment Luke Hawthorn slid open the window to his bedroom and dropped into the alley behind his uncle's building in Manhattan, the course of his life changed forever. He just didn't know it yet. Six months earlier and 5,500 kilometers away, a new drug called Rave-N stole the life of a friend. Days later, Luke's London home was consumed by a fire that also claimed the life of his mother. Then an uncle he'd never known appeared at his mother's funeral and offered Luke a home in New York City-in Hell's Kitchen. Things are not what they seem in Hell's Kitchen. As Luke's friends in London start to disappear, he begins overhearing bits of cryptic conversation from his secretive uncle. Compelled to find out more, Luke embarks on an investigation that spirals his world into an ever-widening hell that will consume friends and enemies alike. "John Hanzl's writing style and story are similar in some ways to Robert Ludlum's earlier novels?a definite plus. John has an exciting style which draws you in and keeps you turning the pages." ? Kaye Trout, Midwest Book Review "Mr. Hanzl does an excellent job of weaving several subplots around the main plot for a fast-paced, page-turning journey with characters who come to life almost immediately." - Writer'sDigest
