Brownsville is the neighborhood of Brooklyn we were talking about, which I learned after reading "Brooklyn Secrets" by Triss Stein. Notable boxers from Brownsville include: Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, Shannon Briggs, Bummy Davis, Daniel Jacobs, Zab Judah, and Eddie Mustafa Muhammad.

The book that inspired ?= Shocked: My Mother, Schiaparelli, and Me by Patricia Volk: " Years later, when I ask friends, “How old were you when you read your transformative book?” they say the same thing. They are prepubescent, ten or eleven. Twelve, the most. The magic age for the book that changes everything."

"The Great Divorce" is the book I was thinking about by C.S. Lewis with the lizard on the shoulder.
