All Danny Schwartz wants is a normal American childhood. But what is he to do about his father who has bought an apartment house and persists in attempting to choke the tenants? Or his mother who claims to serve "the freshest canned food on the block?" Or his Aunt Rose who hangs around the house all day doing Eleanor Roosevelt impersonations? Or his Cousin Louie the mook who, for a nickel, lets people bang his head on the sidewalk? This novel is about more than The Bronx; it is about the American dream. Beneath the jokes and farcical scenes, Gerald Rosen has drawn a powerful, bittersweet portrait of the twilight of a society. We know it will make you laugh. It may leave you in tears.
