Leaving Brooklyn (Contemporary American Fiction)
"Not as complex or inventive as Disturbances in the Field ," judged PW , "this slim, nostalgic novel reincarnates, from a contemporary adult narrator's perspective, post-WW II Brooklyn, where conformity, sensible relationships and coherence wage an age-old battle against passion and creativity." Here silver-tongued prose compensates for wobbly plot contrivances.Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
