O knihe

From the valentine boneyards of working-class Brooklyn, comes a tale of first love, lost innocence, tragedy, and healing. Daniel Trovato, having left his native Bensonhurst years ago to start a new life in L.A., is recently sober and enjoying cult success through his Sworn Witness graphic novels. When he receives word that his childhood love, Anya, has died from an overdose, he is compelled to return to the "old neighborhood." It is there that he will walk through the ghostly twilight of an unfinished past, and revisit both the romantic lore and shadow life of his youth. The enduring torch he's carried for Anya, "the girl from nowhere," who was found in a trash can and adopted by a Russian family; the hazy circumstances of his mother's suicide when he was fourteen; glacial estrangement from his father; the street-and-concrete beats and rhythms of an urban boyhood. Ultimately, No Man's Brooklyn is about the mythic journey we take to meet our core self, and a lyrical testament to the words of Dylan Thomas: "The memories of childhood have no order, and no end."
