Produktbeschreibung

"e;Walking with Lloyd through the pages of Ink-Stained for Life will make you laugh, and think, and cheer, and deeply feel what gives meaning to life. A page-turning jaunt of joy."e; - Ron Suskind Pulitzer prize-winning author of A Hope in the Unseen, The One Percent Doctrine and Life, Animated In the 1950s, America was coming of age. During the same time, in the North Bronx and within a Jewish family, so was Lloyd Sederer. This is not exactly a log-cabin tale. Yet, in this story and essay collection, Sederer wrestles with everything-from family and family businesses to mischief, from playing music to gambling and running away from home, from rich people and Jewish people to cars and much more. Through a unique juxtaposition of first-person stories and essays that further their theme, Sederer attempts to frame his childhood years within the pillars of mid-20th century thought and values-that education, work, and enterprise were the formula for realizing the American dream, that family was the foundation for all of this, and how tradition is bred into our lives and tribes. Through these tales from when he was 8 until 17, and their modern-day essay expositions, Sederer illustrates our times and the perspectives gained as a family man, a psychiatrist, and a public health doctor more than five decades later.
