Synopsis
LEE STRINGER's journey from childhood homelessness in the ’60s, to adult homelessness in the ’80s, to his present career as a writer and lecturer, as told in Sleepaway School and Grand Central Winter , is one of the great odysseys of contemporary American life and letters. Stringer, the only board member of Project Renewal who is also a former patient of the facility, has demonstrated that writers are made, not born. He is the two-time recipient of the Washington Irving Award and, in 2005, a Lannan Foundation Residency. He is a former editor and columnist of Street News . His essays and articles have appeared in a variety of other publications, including The Nation , The New York Times , and Newsday . He lives in Mamaroneck, New York, where he also serves on the board of the Mamaroneck Public Libraries.
