"Debut fiction and poignant character study that captures the tone of Jewish life in Brownsville, Brooklyn, in 1949. Bloom brilliantly exploits the novel as a form by drawing on the simultaneity of film editing....Memories of 'Hiroshima Mon Amour' and Joyce's Cyclops/bar scene in 'Ulysses'. Not much seems to happen, but a memorable movie lies embedded in these haunting pages."Bloom, Steven is the author of 'No New Jokes A Novel' with ISBN 9780393040470 and ISBN 039304047X.
