Broschiertes Buch

Lonely Boy Blues

Beschreibung

Originally published in 1944, Alan Kapelner's first novel, Lonely Boy Blues, is an intense (though not totally humorless) story of a dysfunctional family living in Brooklyn during World War 2. Written in a style that captures the rhythms of jazz and bebop, it is a precursor to the Beat novels of the 1950s.

Autor

Alan Kapelner was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1933. He graduated from Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn's Flatbush neighborhood and later took courses at the New School. A great athlete, he was asked to play with a professional baseball team. "I refused," he wrote, "because I knew I was going to be a writer." Kapelner had only one other novel published: All the Naked Heroes (1960). Two other novels, one titled The Air-Conditioned Hell, were completed but never published. His only other known published works were two short stories: "Jelly, Jelly, Jelly" in the 1955 anthology New Voices 2: American Writing Today, and "The Walking Running People" in the 1971 Survival Prose: An Anthology of New Writings. Kapelner died in 1990.
