A father/a son, east coast/west coast. Two stories making one. The first text is a Jewish American tragicomedy, about the rise and fall of a New Jersey caterer and restaurant owner who develops a gambling sickness leading him to break with family members and leave his business and hometown on a one-way trip to L.A. The second text is a coming-of-age story, depicting the son's trip west, his decision to stay and the effects of his decision on family, friends and his own life. Presenting New Jersey Jewish life plus failed love affairs and sexual encounters, this book represents countless Jewish Americans and others who moved west in the 1950s and 60s, while it includes portrayals of L.A. and San Francisco Bay area cultural and university worlds, featuring an on the road story from Berkeley to a Mexican border town. It is a book filled with unforgettable characters, incidents, and insights that evoke a past period and project readers to our living present. Reviewer, Chicago World.
