Book description…
Life in a 1960 American city: was it the nostalgic time that history remembers?
It’s 1960 America, where optimism abounds, music is fun, cars sport chrome wings, Beats study Kerouac, and residents are secure, working, and happy. And yet in “Milburn Avenue’s” fictional city of Sylvania, a family business owner clashes with his patriarch father and mistrusted in-laws; the controller has launched an embezzlement scheme; an out of town cop pursues a factory worker over an old homicide; a high school girl has a crush on a negro student; strip clubs thrive; a college sophomore grapples with his sexuality; a young single woman finds herself pregnant and her boyfriend womanizing; local bars witness human frailties; and teenagers grow up in large inner city high schools where social class, money, race, and academic levels are as varied as the city’s neighborhoods.Outskirts Press Review
