Description:
New York: Random House, 1985. First Edition. 8vo, original blue cloth, in the original dustjacket. 288. A very fine copy but for the lightest bit of mellowing to the jacket edges. Perhaps the author’s most powerful book. A chronicle of a New York boyhood in the 1930s, a time of depression, ever growing tensions in Europe and the glittering futuristic promise of the New York City World’s Fair.
