Hot Soles in Harlem. [first edition]

Gerardo Sánchez is not the average Puerto Rican arrival to New York City. He is ironically blessed with fair skin, blue eyes, and the good fortune to have met Aleluya, an intrepid guide to the "New Yorkian" world. This mysterious intellectual takes him from Harlem slums to Fifth Avenue penthouses and intellectual circles of New York, setting off the linguistic and cultural odyssey that becomes the every day life of the new immigrant.
