Though a 20 minute and 15-cent subway ride from the skyscrapers of Manhattan, Flatbush remained provincial and working-class--a place where Auschwitz survivors and WWII vets lived side by side and the war lingered like a mass hallucination. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeet Bobby, a local kid who shares a shabby apartment with his status-conscious mother and bigoted father, a soda jerk haunted by memories of the Nazi death camp he helped liberate. Flatbush, to Bobby, is a world of brawls with neighborhood \"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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom a perch in his father's candy store, Bobby provides a child's-eye view of the mid-20th-century American experience--a poignant intertwining of the personal and historical.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Rosen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1909394688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781909394681\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Headpress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Robert Rosen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074099147007,"sku":"9781909394681","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_70171f99-d2fc-442d-8eaf-fe08486f614f.jpg?v=1685451773","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bobby-in-naziland-robert-rosen-9781909394681","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
