Description

Growing Up Bronx allows readers a poignant insight into the mentors and influences that shaped one of Canada's brilliant writers of science fiction. Hargreaves takes you through the Great Depression and WWII, in his native Bronx neighbourhood, into the lives of shopkeepers and family, heartache and triumph. This is definitely a must-have collection of short stories to complete the canon of H.A. Hargreaves' work.

His collection of short stories, North by 2000, in its time received wide critical acclaim from both peers and periodicals.
