Comments:
The novel’s main character has assumed a new identity to escape from his past as the nephew of a well-known Jewish gangster from Brooklyn in the 1950s. He is haunted by memories of his first family, wife, and daughter. For the first edition jacket, Fred’s still life synthesizes the hero’s two lives.
