RED HOOK STORIES
by Maureen McNeil with photographs by Janet Neuhauser are now available for $19.99 through Xlibris.
Red Hook Stories is a collection of 20 short stories and 20 photographs depicting a desperate beauty of human loss and resiliency in the dockyard neighborhood of Red Hook, Brooklyn between the years of 1981 and 1992. Woven throughout the collection are a mix of voices rarely heard, echoes from the edges of poor urban American communities in transition. Artists, carpenters, squatters, welfare recipients, retired dockyard workers and their families band together at weddings, funerals, civic meetings and demonstrations in a struggle to survive political neglect.
