Whataya Gonna Do?

Beschreibung

While plotting his strategic escape from Brooklyn, a New York Jew considers his highly comical upbringing. Armed only with a beguiling sense of humor, a love for music, and a steadfast dedication to self-metamorphosis, how does a lower middle-class New York Jew rise above his humble and often turbulent urban beginnings? I found your story a pleasurable and interesting read. It brought to mind the narrative in "A Christmas Story," introspective in an innocent and honest way, yet humorous and relatable. -Jennifer Ricci, fellow book club member I can't help reading it with your voice and mannerisms in my head... Your humor comes through loud and clear. -Martin Hamilton, fellow book club member You got your point across about the power of humor and how essential it is for navigating through life's challenges. -Mitch Stevens, brother Your book made me laugh out loud at times. -Barbara McMichael, friend and long-time Seattle Times book reviewer
