About this Item
T3 - An advance uncorrected proof paperback book in very good condition that has some bumped corners, label residue on the spine, light discoloration and shelf wear. A Novel Of Pastry, Guilt, And Music. A brilliantly entertaining debut novel about a tight-knit, ethnically diverse New York neighborhood on the brink of change - from the acclaimed author of the nonfiction masterpieces Cod, Salt, and 1968. 9"x6", 319 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. It's the boom years of the 1980s, and life is closing in on Nathan Seltzer, who rarely travels beyond his suddenly gentrifying Lower East Side neighborhood. Between paralyzing bouts of claustrophobia, Nathan wonders whether he should cheat on his wife with Karoline, a German pastry maker whose parents may or may not have been Nazis. His father, Harry, is plotting with the 1960s boogaloo star Chow Mein Vega for the comeback of this dance craze. Meanwhile, a homicidal drug addict is terrorizing the neighborhood. With its cast of unforgettable characters, Boogaloo on 2nd Avenue is a comedy of cultures, of the old and the new, of Latinos, Jews, Sicilians, and Germans. It's about struggling to hold on to life in a rapidly changing world, about food and sex, and about how our lives are shaped by love and guilt. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
