Description: Neil Simon continues the semiautobiographical trilogy begun with Brighton Beach Memoirs and Biloxi Blues. Broadway Bound begins with the efforts of Eugene Jerome and his older brother to launch a career as a comedy writing team. World War II has just ended, and their parents' marriage has begun to unravel. The future is brightening for the Jerome brothers, but the family's Brooklyn home is darkened by despair. As the brothers struggle to land a job, they learn about more than just the distance from Brooklyn to Broadway, which beckons from beyond the river. They learn, too, about brotherhood, family, and friendship--and about the vulnerability, and dignity, of human beings.
