The author of many books and novels, his "Snow in August" and "A Drinking life" were on national bestseller lists for many weeks. Among his most recent books are "Diego Rivera," "Why Sinatra Matters" and the newly published novel "Forever." E-mail: phamill@ edit.nydailynews.com city's 9/11 wounds John Whitehead steps into the reception area of the Lower Manhattan Development Corp. on the 20th floor of 1 Liberty Plaza and shakes hands with a visitor. His hair is white, his manner courteous. "I want to show you something," he says. He leads the way down a corridor into a large room. A few lamps are lit, but the room relies on the afternoon light seeping from the large picture window cut into the west wall. Nobody is there except a young guard. Whitehead gestures at the artifacts of the New York calamity: Mass cards, photographs, scrawled messages, ID cards, flowers fresh and flowers dried, a thick guest book full of comments. "This is the room for the families," he says quietly. "Early on, there was a viewing platform down near ground level, but that's gone now. So we have this. For any family members who want to come and see the site where their loved ones died. And maybe pray or meditate."

Extractions: BIO Pete Hamill started his career at the New York Post in 1960. He is the author of eight novels and two collections of stories, and his writing has appeared in most national magazines. He has been a columnist for many years, and currently writes a column for The New York Daily News . He lives in New York City with his wife, writer Fukiko Aoki. Back to top. PH: Yes. After three years of work, I finished the manuscript at 11:20 on the evening of September 10. I sent an e-mail to my editor, saying I was finished, then hugged my wife. I had an 8:15 meeting at the Museum of the City of New York on Chambers Street, and at about 8:50 the world changed. After the emergency settled down, many days later, and I turned to the novel again, I knew I had to do much more than I'd already done. That final draft took almost another year.

Extractions: Sunday, December 29, 2002 - Pete Hamill is a New Yorker. That about explains who he is; there's no need to say any more. He's the author of 15 books, including the novel "Snow in August," which was chosen by Gov. Bill Owens as Colorado's book to read in the One State, One Book program last summer. His memoir, "A Drinking Life," was a best seller. He writes a city-wide column for the New York Daily News. Who better to write a historical novel based on the history of America's largest and quirkiest city? Hamill has done just that with his epic new novel, "Forever," and you will forgive him an element of the fantastic since it allows him to tell his story from the middle of the 18th century to the collapse of the World Trade Center towers using the same central character, an Irish immigrant named Cormac O'Connor. Cormac is given the gift of immortality, but only with the proviso that he not leave the island of Manhattan. Sure, it's a device for Hamill to tell New York's story, but it works well if the reader is able to offer the willing suspension of disbelief - much like going to a movie. Hamill makes it easy since he doesn't dwell on this element of the story.

Extractions: chapter one Forever by Pete Hamill Friday, January 03, 2003 IRELAND And what a people loves it will defend. We took their temples from them and forbade them, for many years, to worship their strange idols. They gathered in secret, deep in the dripping glens, Chanting their prayers before a lichened rock. - John Hewitt, "The Colony," 1950 There he is, three days after his fifth birthday, standing barefoot upon wet summer grass. He is staring at the house where he lives: the great good Irish place of whitewashed walls, long and low, with a dark slate roof glistening in the morning drizzle. Standing there, he knows it will turn pale blue when the sun appears to work its magic. The boy named Robert Carson loves gazing at that house, basking in its permanence and comfort. On some days, a wisp of smoke rises from the chimney. On other days, the earlymorning sun throws a golden glaze upon its white facade. It is never the same and always the same. He sees the small windows like tiny eyes in the face of the house, the glass reflecting the rising sun. The front door is mahogany, salvaged from some drowned ship along the shores of the Irish Sea, as tightly fitted in that doorway now as any man could make it. There's a low half-door too, placed in front of the full mahogany door like a snug wooden apron. During balmy summer days, the large door is always open, welcoming light and air into the house. The breeze pushes smoke from the fire up through the stone chimney.

Extractions: "Newspaper people were flamboyant, hard-drinking bohemian anarchists, with great gifts for obscenity and a cynicism based on experience. Or so I thought," Hamill wrote in Piecework , a 1996 collection of his non-fiction. "I loved being in their company, in city rooms, at murder scenes, or standing in the bar after work."

I could afford it as a kid. After I got out of the Navy and I wanted to be a writer or a painter, I was able to go and get an apartment for $60 a month. You couldn't do that now; I couldn't rent a parking spot for $60 a month. So there was a message that the city whispered to its people and to people from all over the United States. "Come here everything is possible." Now that's a seductive sound. It's a seductive whisper. One of the things that I miss the most was what it felt like in the subway between the hours of five and seven. Being on packed subway cars with working men on those cars. Guys stained with sweat, the smell of perspiration, the raw-knuckled hands, the toolboxes, heading home. Nobody would mess with guys like that. And they were very proud of the fact that they were working in the biggest city in the United States they were functioning people. People moved and the subway then became one of these great binding elements in the city that moved people around and put them up against each other. And sometimes they came up against each other in conflict, but the conflict didn't ever last very long. The Irish fought the Italians until they started marrying them. And then they both fought the Jews until they started marrying them. You know, people began to say, "Hey, there's something more here. If the subway doesn't work, it doesn't work for all of us. If there's a snowstorm, it affects all of us."
