Book Description

Excerpt from Youth Goes Seeking We walked from the plant in South Brooklyn to Grace Court but although it was a good two miles Bert did not speak again but trudged along beside me, head down, his hands deep in his pockets. And as we walked I thought of how the two of us, years before, had lain under the privet bushes in my aunt's garden and talked about our futures. Even then, as long ago as that, Bert had planned to be a surgeon. When I was leaving him at the corner of Rem sen Street he took off his hat and ran his fingers through his dusty yellow hair. Why can't a fellow do what he's best fitted for, Henry? Here they wouldn't let you go to college because your uncle wanted you for that nasty, stinking busi ness of his. And here I can't become a surgeon because I have to make a few measly dollars a week. It isn't right it isn't even sensible. Damn things anyway!
