Writer Returns To His Bronx Roots
Famed novelist Jerome Charyn returns home in his latest work, "In Bitter Bronx: Thirteen Stories.” Charyn's new novel depicts a world before and after urban renewal destroyed the borough's gritty sanctity made famous by Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Joltin' Joe. Charyn joins us to discuss why it was so difficult to make the journey home.
