The City in the Mist

Tro was from an old New York slash New England wasp family that had been involved in one way or another in the printing business or in journalism for several generations. In the 70s, Tro was a frequent writer for the talk of the town section of New York City and a real downtown figure. He has a collection of New Yorker casuals, sort of humorous short stories that are in between short story and what we now know as Shouts and murmurs called bullies. Later, he wrote a novel called The City in the Mist, which has two halves as historical.
