In a New York City made phantasmagorical by the events of 9/11, Hans—a banker originally from the Netherlands—finds himself marooned and left alone after his English wife and son return to London. He stumbles upon the vibrant New York subculture of cricket, through which he revisits his lost childhood and, thanks to a friendship with a charismatic 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 life in America, an unforgettable portrait emerges of an “other” New York populated by immigrants and strivers of every race and nationality.]]> 389474 3.51 3841 1125 2008 0 0 false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 10 18:26:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 10 18:26:34 -0700 2009
