520 Fifth-generation New Yorker, third-generation bartender,
and first-generation author Tara Clancy was raised in
three wildly divergent homes: a converted boat shed in
working-class Queens, a geriatric commune of feisty
Brooklyn-born Italians, and a sprawling Hamptons estate
she visited every other weekend. From scheming and
gambling with her force-of-nature grandmother, to brawling
with eleven-year-old girls on the concrete recess battle
yard of MS 172, to hours lounging on Adirondack chairs
next to an immaculate croquet lawn, to holding court
beside Joey O'Dirt, Goiter Eddy, and Roger the Dodger at
her dad's local bar, Tara leapfrogs across these varied
spheres, delivering stories from each world with
originality, grit, and outrageous humor. Chock-full of
characters who escape the popular imaginings of New York
City, it offers a bold portrait of real people, whose
stories are largely absent from our shelves. Most
crucially, it captures--an inimitable prose--the rarely
heard voices of New York's working-class women. --
