Review # 1 was written on 2019-09-26 00:00:00 William Ohara This is a good book but it's a real stretch to call it a novel. Besides, I've read 90% of the stories herein in other Gifford books like The Cuban Club, Wyoming, American Falls and Do the Blind Dream? But if I hadn't read those other volumes first, I would have really enjoyed this diffuse series of vignettes.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-08-28 00:00:00 Tim Brillian This book created some interesting dark images of the 50's and 60's from a child's viewpoint. The mother was lousy, the dad was aloof, and Roy left me feeling sad and tired. Friends who live in Chicago might enjoy some of the "Chi" gangster references. Final thought is that gasoline must have been really cheap.
