What is the aim or goal of your writing: Contemporary Authors says, "An educator, historian, journalist, and author, Edmund G. Love is best remembered for Subways Are for Sleeping, his 1957 work relating his experiences sleeping on New York subway cars when he could not afford lodging; the book was adapted as a successful Broadway musical of the same title. Among Love's other popular writings are War Is a Private Affair, based on the author's army experience during World War II; The Situation in Flushing, an autobiography telling of his boyhood fascination with trains; and Hanging On, which depicts how Love's family survived the Great Depression during the 1930s."
