New York Author Publishes New Memoir

August 6, 2014 - "NYC & ME: An Unknown Person's Trip through Life," a new book by L. Stephen Siegal, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

If you are young, how will your next forty-five years be? If you are on the other end of the spectrum, how were the last forty-five years?

This is a story of a young man, Les, who serendipitously arrives in New York City in 1964 and soon thereafter finds himself absorbed in living his life in his adopted city for the next four and a half decades, from the Vietnam Era to 9/11 and on….

Being captivated by the city, he moved forward with his career, marriage, and boundless activities, including Broadway plays to experimental theater, arthouse cinema, bookshops from The Gotham to The Strand, five-dollar restaurants and on up, museum exhibitions and their permanent collections, friends, relatives, occasional brush-ups with celebrities, and a few excursions along the way.

Where one's life goes may be self-directed or may be just a matter of happenstance.
