Ninety-Second St 3D Cover

"Set on the streets of an unforgettable and timeless Brooklyn, each and every page of this remarkable story collection rings with an authority that can only come from having lived life fully, both as a participant and as a witness. Written in deeply compelling prose that is as lyrical as it is street-wise, the voice here is suffused with humor, compassion, erudition, and an unapologetic love for its wonderful cast of characters. Gerry Coleman is the real deal, and Ninety-Second Street: Brooklyn Stories is a gem."

--Andre Dubus III

In this collection of ten interconnected stories, neighbors become family, proximity shapes destiny, and growing up means discovering that the most ordinary places hold the most extraordinary secrets.

About the Book

In this collection of ten interconnected stories, neighbors become family, proximity shapes destiny, and growing up means discovering that the most ordinary places hold the most extraordinary secrets.

From thirteen to thirty, a diverse cast of characters navigate first love, crushing loss, and the search for meaning on one Brooklyn Street where the parish church and corner bar anchor everything that matters.

Watch a young man fall for a girl glimpsed through a pretzel at the local pub. Follow childhood sweethearts who make a blood pact for eternity-and get exactly what they wish for. Meet the teacher plagued by famous dead writers stealing his work, and the coma patient who finds salvation in conversations with a Native American trickster god.

These aren't just coming-of-age stories-they're portraits of a community where friendships form by chance rather than choice, where the landscape beneath your feet holds mysteries you'll never understand, and where life always feels bigger than the small street that contains it.

about THE AUTHOR
Matthew Campobass - Author Portrait.jpeg

Matthew Campobasso is a Chief Legal Officer, seasoned executive, and law school professor with a criminal prosecution and civil litigation background. With nearly two decades of experience practicing law, he has seen the profession's "work harder, care more, control everything" playbook break far too many talented lawyers. He wrote The Case for Letting Go to show there is another way; one where excellence doesn't require exhaustion. Matthew teaches Business Associations at the University of Illinois Chicago Law School and lives outside Chicago. Of all of his jobs, his favorite is being a dad to his son and two daughters.
