In these thoughtful stories and poems, Safford Chamberlain
skillfully evokes the post-World War II era when American society
encouraged repression over expression and conformity over
individuality, and he shows vividly the cost its young people paid
as a result. His protagonistgs are imbued with the longing and
uncertainty that come with change as they walk a fine line between
maintaining the courage of their convictions and making terrible
mistakes that may result in years of suffering and loneliness. The
backdrop of nightclubs and jazz provides the perfect atmosphere for
these young men to work through what troubles them. (Manuel Perea,
Creative Writing Instructor, Pasadena City College)
