Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Roby comes to New York” is a genial memoir of a Luxembourger’s student days in New York during the turbulent nineteen-seventies. The narrative starts with the author’s introduction to his new city and university (The Rockefeller University), and describes diverse adventures encountered during his discovery of America, both in his New York daily life, and through travels in the U.S. The account is replete with observations on the sometimes peculiar (to a European), and sometimes admirable, behaviors exhibited by Americans. Memorable characters are met with; paralleling impressions of Japanese, Swedish and German lifestyles round out the author’s paean to his beloved New York.
