Mr. Hamill, former Editor-in-Chief of both The New York Daily News and The New York Post and a New York columnist for over 40 years, has become synonymous with this city and his most recent novel, Forever, is taught in several sections of the University’s Discover New York program. In his introductory remarks Jeffrey Fagen, Dean of St. John’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, explained that Mr. Hamill was chosen as the first speaker in the series because there is a common thread woven throughout his writing that intersects with the University’s own mission statement. “Whether in his writing or his novels Mr. Hamill frequently touches on the plight of the disadvantaged, and the struggles of people of all races and religions to make a better life for their families.” Dean Fagen added, “He has a special place in his heart for the poor, the immigrant and those who have suffered at the hands of the powerful.”

The formation of an alloy: an interview with Pete Hamill by Joseph J. Finn For decades, Pete Hamill has been the one of the public faces of New York City in his writings. In his journalistic career, he has edited both the New York Post and the New York Daily News, as well as writing for almost every other paper. He is a long-time novelist and essayist, as well as the author of the memoir A Drinking Life . His latest novel, Forever , deals with the history of New York City as seen through the eyes of an immortal Irishman in Manhattan. Mr. Hamill spoke to Bookslut from his home in Manhattan. You've joined an interesting community: journalists who became novelists. How does it feel to join a club that has Mark Twain and Neil Gaiman as members? Forever by Pete Hamill reviewed by Joseph J. Finn Pete Hamill's "Forever" places the author firmly in the pantheon of British and American authors who are of that rarefied species: that of the journalist turned novelist. It's an intimidating group of authors, ranging from Edgar Allan Poe and Mark Twain in the 19th century, all the way to Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Neil Gaiman in the 20th. With the novel, Hamill shows beautifully that he possesses the combination of a journalistic knack for detail and a poetic ear for lyricism that a novelist needs. An eye for detail is wonderfully necessary in this sprawling novel, covering the life of what we now call Manhattan. The story starts out in 18th century Ireland, as young Robert Carson finds through circumstance and the death of his parents that he is actually Cormac O'Connor, descendant of the original Irish before the Catholics and the Protestants, and son of a Jewish mother. Already a secret outsider, Cormac is made even more of an outsider by the murder of his father. Pledging to track down his father's murderer, he travels to Manhattan and is cursed. Or blessed, depending on how you want to look at it.

Book Review - Forever by Pete Hamill It Takes Forever Forever by Pete Hamill Published by Little, Brown and Company Review by W. R. Greer There are just a few writers who should attempt to write a novel about the history of New York City, and Pete Hamill is probably at the top of that list. He's been the editor in chief of the New York Daily News and the New York Post and has written for the New York Times The New Yorker , and Newsday . To tell the story of the city, he creates the character of Cormac O'Connor, an Irish boy who emigrates to Manhattan in 1740 and remains there forever. It's an interesting plot concept to have one person see and tell the whole history of a city, as opposed to a sweeping drama following a family from generation to generation. Unfortunately, this approach does not succeed, despite the author's best efforts. Predictably enough, Cormac's father is murdered when the Earl of Warren tries to take a horse from him. In a controlled rage that burns from the page, Cormac does his best to exact his revenge, killing at least one of the earl's henchman and burning his estate to the ground. Upon learning that the earl has left for the colonies in the New World, Cormac races to the coast in time to catch the next ship. Starving, freezing, and moving past the dead who have frozen to death in winter's grip, Cormac's magical steed, Thunder, reaches the dock just as the ship is pulling away. With a mighty leap, Thunder boards the boat, deposits Cormac on deck, and swims back to shore.

Downloads Thursday, 21 June 2007 'North River' a novel by Pete Hamill TIM RUTTEN - LOS ANGELES TIMES The sort of person who never gets a sentimental catch in the throat isn't quite trustworthy, but then neither is the guy whose only tears are sentimental. "North River" Pete Hamill's 10th novel and 20th book flirts outrageously with that distinction but ultimately seduces us with the author's sweetly convinced nostalgia for his city, New York, in that deep Depression year of 1934 and (perhaps more consequentially) with the story telling conventions of that era. If yours is the sort of sensibility that after a hard day at the office craves an hour with Turner Classic Movies on cable, this could be the book that makes your summer. Hamill's a smart guy and a fluent writer, and few people have written quite so beautifully about New York as he has in recent years. Like filmmaker Woody Allen, whatever Hamill's ostensible subject, the city of New York is his subtext. In a recent interview, he offered that, "The most powerful emotion in New York is nostalgia. Not sentimentality, (which) I'm not talking about." New Yorkers' nostalgia is "caused by two things," he said. "One is the physical changes that go on because of the religion of real estate. You go away for the summer, you come back and your favorite coffee shop is erased. The other is because of the immigrants, people who came from some old country, whatever it is, and never wanted to go back, and had nostalgia for it anyway."

Snow in August by Pete Hamill Our story opens in 1947 Brooklyn. Michael Devlin, an 11 year-old, gets up one snowy morning to hurry out to the Catholic church where he serves as an altar boy. The day will change his life forever. As he struggles through the icy, windy streets, he lets his fertile imagination have free rein with his surroundings: superheroes! World War Two! Arctic wastelands! Suddenly, an anxious voice calls for help. A man waves to him from the alien terrain of the neighborhood synagogue. Jeez, could he possibly be that most exotic creature a Catholic kid could possibly encounter: an honest-to-God rabbi , fresh off the boat from Europe? Rabbi Judah Hirsch conveys in broken English that he needs Michael to come over and turn the lights on for him because he can't do it himself for some mysterious religious reason. Michael has heard ominous Catholic rumors concerning the Jews, but his curiosity wins out. Besides, the rabbi, who attempts to explain about the Shabbos and its rules, seems like a nice guy. He even gives Michael a nickel for his trouble though he can't afford it. Michael misses his father (killed at the Battle of the Bulge), and gets little attention from his hard-working mother. How can he resist making friends with the rabbi whose thirst for knowledge matches his own? Soon he returns to the synagogue to ask if the rabbi needs any more help. He wants stories and male companionship. The rabbi wants to learn English and the rules of baseball to help get assimilated into his new homeland. As a bonus, he throws in lessons in Yiddish, which Michael eagerly accepts.

Here, Pete Hamill, the author of distinguished fiction and nonfiction works, praises "Mexico," written by Erico Verissimo and published in an English translation by Linton Barrett in 1960. BY PETE HAMILL T ravel books about Mexico are a rarity these days. That was not always the case; my own collection contains more than 100 books from the 1930s and 1940s alone, ranging from bilious accounts by Graham Greene and Aldous Huxley to a sketchy watercolor of a book by D.H. Lawrence. Most of the rest are truly awful in a charming, innocent way; there was a virtual sub-genre written by lonely women who fled the United States to rediscover humanity under the Mexican sun, usually in the company of a boy named Paco.

"At some point everybody sits around talking late at night and dreaming up the perfect paper," he was saying. "Usually, it's 'Goddammit, these idiots don't know how to run this thing. If we could get our hands on it we'd know what to do.' We all felt editors were trimming the best lines out of stories, or didn't recognize stories staring them in the face, or were filling the paper with stuff that was boring. There had to be a paper somewhere on which all the reporters were fabulous, all the writing was great, where the layout was slam-bang and elegant at the same time, and where people couldn't wait to get up in the morning and read it, and after you read it you felt you were not going to be the same again. We called it 'God's Paper.'"
