I loved it... and already passed it on to a friend. I am a native New Yorker and enjoy stories about "my" city. It helped that I had recently read two of this author's memoirs... gave me some background as to where this "fable" was pulling from his life and where he veered off into the fiction part.
This confluence of the various cultures in Brooklyn post WWII was fascinating to me.
I love his writing.
