(3 of 3)
Here Comes Pete Now, by Thomas Anderson. A Kafka-like parable about man's groping, which is as murky and menacing as the New York waterfront it covers.
The Real Silvestri, by Mario Soldati. In this novel, death reveals what the living rarely guess—that most men lead lives of mistaken identity.
Skyline, by Gene Fowler. A newsman's memories of the '20s, when Broadway was the Rue Regret.
First Family, by Christopher Davis. The author takes his theme from the headlines—what happens when Negroes move in next door—but his prose and his people have a grace, daring and insight that may only be found in superior fiction.
