About
"Welcome to Brighton Beach of the 1930s and early '40s as filtered through Simon Sloan, from youth to would-be "artist-as-a-young-man" at Brooklyn College to the eve of his induction into the army. Wallace Markfield perfectly captures this Jewish neighborhood - its speech, its people, its unique zaniness."--BOOK JACKET.
