WHEN SIX WAS NINE is the second part of the trilogy known worldwide
as ADVENTURES IN THE VOID. It covers the crucial years when the
world was turned upside down and on its end by cataclysmic changes
in politics, the arts, and society in general. Eager to embrace the
new freedoms awaiting his generation, Lucien Goldman rushes
headfirst into the tumbling tides as described by The Chambers
Brothers in their mini epic "Time Has Come Today." Duly his soul
becomes "psychedelicized" Now if only he can get back home to his
bedroom where the walls are covered by the icons of his generation:
The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, etc. and explain everything
to his anxious parents.
THE PAST IS INEVITABLE is a collection of new poetry by bestselling
poet and novelist LEWIS FREDERICK CRYSTAL. These poems have all
been composed in the past year and the book contains five sections:
Avenue U, Canarsie Suite, California, Elegies, and The Present
Tense, each representing a particular stage of the author's life.
A HISTORY OF SEX is not as the title may imply, a historical
overview of the sexual history of mankind from prehistoric times to
the present. Rather, it is a personal history of one man, straining
to understand his own sexual nature and to apply it delicately to
the convoluted ways of the modern world Included in this volume are
other poems in a similar vein, but much, much shorter, and to the
point.
THE THIEVES OF YOUTH is the first book of a trilogy of coming of
age novels, variously referred to as ADVENTURES IN THE VOID or
sometimes as THE BOOKS OF LUCIEN. THE THIEVES OF YOUTH is set in
t.he 1950's as things are just getting started for the young Lucien
Goldman. Metaphorically speaking he is just learning the ropes.
Literally he is being roped into the lifestyle of his striving
middle class parents Harry and Evelyn who are his mentors, although
his brother Paul, a maintenance man named Slim Sandleman and the
former world heavyweight champion, Floyd Patterson, are vying for
the honors.
HERITAGE New Poems is the seventh book of poetry from bestselling
author LEWIS FREDERICK CRYSTAL. All of the poems in this volume
were written in the previous twelve months and many including the
title poem, reflect upon the author's ancestors who fleeing Russia
prior to World War I and the Bolshevick Revolution settled in
Harlem, New York and then migrated to Brooklyn, where the author
was born. Although his own influences grew out of the cultural
revolution of the 1960's, it was literally impossible to escape the
inestimable impact of his family and their valiant struggle to
assimilate into the American landscape. Other poems here reference
many of the author's personal tastes("Jimi" "A Revisionist History
Lesson" and "Six Degrees of Delmore Schwartz"). Other poems center
on personal struggles with issues of aging and the precise nature
of the past and its relationship to the present and to the future
("Solitary Journey, " Summers Roll On")as well as Mr. Crystal's
take on recent current events("And Darkness Covered The Face of The
Deep," "Beautiful Little Kids").
UNSOLVED MYSTERIES OF CHILDHOOD is a book of poetry and some
related prose pieces in which the author faithfully examines the
inexplicable circumstances of his childhood. The title poem, a
lengthy compilation of hearsay and observations, takes the poet and
his main subjects-his parents- through their courtship, the birth
of their children and their deaths, many years apart. Among the
other fine poems are elegies written for the poets' parents and
others which find him confronting his own mortality, at first from
afar and then years later, when it is no longer a vague outline.
1976: A BICENTENNIAL NOVEL is the concluding part of the trilogy
which includes THE THIEVES OF YOUTH and WHEN SIX WAS NINE. Lucian
Goldman has finally come of age and is finally a man. He wants to
take his new girlfriend to California so they can live there
together, he as a writer, she as a painter, and the two of them in
eternal love. The only problem is the father who has been his
biggest supporter is dying at home in Brooklyn
A novel about the subterranean world of Bookselling as practiced on
the busy island of Manhattan in the latter part of the twentieth
century.
