(All Danny Schwartz wants is a normal American childhood. ...)
All Danny Schwartz wants is a normal American childhood. But what is he to do about his father who has bought an apartment house and persists in attempting to choke the tenants? Or his mother who claims to serve “the freshest canned food on the block?” Or his Aunt Rose who hangs around the house all day doing Eleanor Roosevelt impersonations? Or his Cousin Louie the mook who, for a nickel, lets people bang his head on the sidewalk? This novel is about more than The Bronx; it is about the American dream. Beneath the jokes and farcical scenes, Gerald Rosen has drawn a powerful, bittersweet portrait of the twilight of a society. We know it will make you laugh. It may leave you in tears.

She arrived in town on a freight train with her ideals of peace and love, her Thomas Aquinas, her tawny port wine, and her trombone. They met on the jazz scene, the most unlikely couple imaginable. But I was 1961. John F. Kennedy was in The White House. Martin Luther Kind had taken to the streets. Anything seemed possible…
