Eleven Stories High

Popularity 2
"Eleven Stories High is a memoir of a middle-class childhood, the perceptions of a girl growing up in a New York City housing project that the author deemed a "utopia of the fifties." The story follows the process of money, rather than the conventions of chronology, and explores the concept of "home," how a place like Stuyvesant Town - impersonal, symmetrical, utilitarian - shapes a childhood."--BOOK JACKET.
