Cross BronxA Writing Life

Peter Quinn

Foreword by Dan Barry

Prolific Bronx scribe Peter Quinn synthesizes his wideranging interests into a personal, engaging narrative that begins in his beloved Bronx and takes him to the political corridors of Albany. He shares some amusing political anecdotes along the way, and movingly, talks of his often complicated relationship with his father. A bonus to Quinn’s crisp storytelling is a Foreword by New York Times reporter Dan Barry, and a fascinating interview Quinn conducts with Albany’s William Kennedy, a writer cut from the same cloth as Quinn.
