Boogaloo on 2nd Avenue: A Novel of Pastry, Guilt and Music
Kurlansky, Mark
It's the boom years of
the 1980s, and life is closing in on Nathan Seltzer, who rarely travels
outside his suddenly gentrifying Lower East Side neighbourhood. While he
tries to decide whether he should cheat on his wife with Karoline, a
German pastry chef whose parents may or may not have been Nazis, his
father, Harry, is plotting with the 1960s boogaloo star Chow Mein Vega
for the comeback of this dance craze. Meanwhile, a homicidal drug addict
is terrorizing the neighbourhood.
With its ensemble cast of unforgettable characters, Boogaloo on 2nd Avenue
is a comedy of cultures about the old and the new, about Latinos, Jews,
Sicilians and Germans. It's about struggling to hold onto life in a
rapidly changing world, about food and sex and about how our lives are
shaped by love and guilt.
