The St. Veronica Gig Stories

This book is great. The discriptions are so vivid I feel and smell New York when I read it. The characters are more than believable. I read this book more than once to get everything out of the intense writting style.

Jack Pulaski is multi-cultural Brooklyn's answer to Dylan Thomas -- except that Pulaski took to the Vermont woods and survived, while his Welch counterpart came to New York... too bad for Dylan Thomas. As for Jack Pulaski's writing -- the Kotzker Rebbe one reviled a visiting Chassidic philosopher by roaring, "Your teachings come from the mind, my teachings come from the gut!" That's where Pulaski's superbly-crafted stories come from, too (evidently a very surrealistic place). Superb, courageous, inspired writing!
