A Brooklyn Memoir by Robert Rosen
From the final days of the Brooklyn Dodgers in the mid-1950s to the arrival of the Beatles in 1964, A Brooklyn Memoir is an unsentimental journey through one rough-and-tumble working-class neighbourhood. Flatbush, to Bobby, is a world of brawls with neighbourhood 'punks,' Hebrew school tales of Adolf Eichmann's daring capture, and grade school duck-and-cover drills. Drawn to images of mushroom clouds and books about executions, Bobby ultimately turns the seething hatred he senses everywhere against himself. Formerly published under the title Bobby in Naziland.
