Title: Living in the past
Description: "Set in Rochester, New York, in the fifties, this book-length sequence traces the year in a boy's life leading up to his bar mitzvah and passage into manhood. There is a mixture of ethnic groups here - many of them displaced by the war in Europe - with new hopes and dreams. It is a uniquely American place, where "no matter how far down you started from, you began again from the beginning.""--BOOK JACKET.
