City of Glass(1985), the first volume of his New York trilogy, which I first read as a teenager, and Hand to Mouth(1997), a memoir that bore the subtitle, A Chronicle of Early Failure, which I discovered in the throes of an extended mid-life crisis.

Some colleges that had been permissive of pro-Palestinian protests begin taking a tougher stance
University of Chicago on Tuesday after administrators who had initially adopted a permissive approach said the protest had crossed a line and caused growing concerns about safety. University President Paul Alivisatos acknowledged the school's role as a protector of freedom of speech after officers in riot gear blocked access to the school's Quad but also took an enough-is-enough stance. «The university remains a place where dissenting voices have many avenues to express themselves, but we cannot enable an environment where the expression of some dominates and disrupts the healthy functioning of the community for the rest,» Alivisatos wrote in a message to the university community.

The downside of campus protest: Wary employers
Top college campuses in the West have been in ferment over the past month as students agitate over Israel’s war in Palestine; however, far from these portals of protests, recruiters are taking note, and students should be worried. Simply put, global companies may think twice before recruiting students who join the ongoing unrest. Employers are concerned that such students may find it difficult to settle down or align with the broader company culture where individual viewpoints are often superseded by that of the group, and one must learn to keep opinions in check.
