Description
Lonely Boy Blues by Alan Kapelner is a powerful and intense novel about a dysfunctional family living in Brooklyn during World War 2. Written in a unique style that captures the rhythms of jazz and bebop, this book is an early precursor to the Beat novels of the 1950s. First published in 1944, Lonely Boy Blues has been re-released for its 75th anniversary with additional material. This edition includes an interview with the author from 1967, as well as Arthur Sussman's cover artwork from a 1956 paperback edition. The book was edited by Maxwell Perkins, a renowned editor known for his work on novels by Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Thomas Wolfe. This expanded edition offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and work of Alan Kapelner, a writer with a unique talent for narrative and dialogue.
