New York Times Book Review Best Book of the Year
In a New York City made phantasmagorical by the events of 9/11, and
left alone after his English wife and son return to London, Hans
van den Broek stumbles upon the vibrant New York subculture of
cricket, where he revisits his lost childhood and, thanks to a
friendship with a charismatic and charming Trinidadian named Chuck
Ramkissoon, begins to reconnect with his life and his adopted
country. As the two men share their vastly different experiences of
contemporary immigrant life in America, an unforgettable portrait
emerges of an "other" New York populated by immigrants and strivers
of every race and nationality.
