A rich and varied collection of Pete Hamill s best journalism that spans decades and covers topics as diverse as Donald Trump, stickball, and Northern Ireland..Veteran journalist Pete Hamill never covered just politics. Or just sports. Or just the entertainment business, the mob, foreign affairs, social issues, the art world, or New York City. He has in fact written about all these subjects, and many more, in his years as a contributor to such national magazines as Esquire, Vanity Fair, and New York, and as a columnist at the New York Post, the New York Daily News, the Village Voice, and other newspapers.Seasoned by more than thirty years as a New York newspaperman, Hamill wrote on an extraordinarily wide variety of topics in powerful language that is personal, toughminded, clearheaded, always provocative. Piecework is a rich and varied collection of Hamill s best writing, on such diverse subjects as what television and crack have in common, why winning isn t everything, stickball, Nicaragua, Donald Trump, why American immigration policy toward Mexico is all wrong, Brooklyn s Seventh Avenue, and Frank Sinatra, not to mention Octavio Paz, what it s like to realize you re middleaged, Northern Ireland, New York City then and now, how Mike Tyson spent his time in prison, and much more. This collection proves him once again to be among the last of a dying breed: the oldschool generalist, who writes about anything and everything, guided only by passionate and boundless curiosity. Piecework is Hamill at his very best.
