Zusammenfassung

Three classic novels in one volume: Summer in Williamsburg (1934), Homage to Blenholt (1936), and Low Company (1937).
Fuchs wrote, "I devoted myself simply to the tenement: the life in the hallways, the commotion at the dumbwaiters, the assortment of characters in the building, their strivings and preoccupations, their troubles." These novels are as alive today as the day they were first printed, as exuberant. There are few novelists in America today who possess Fuchs's talent, his energy, his sense of life.

Praise for Daniel Fuchs and The Brooklyn Novels

"Fuchs is a master. He had Pasternak's wonder at youth's encounter with the wider world, and Chekhov's nose for thwarted desire, and Turgenev's generosity to the barbarians of the new order."-The New Republic

"These novels capture, better than any of the better-known works of the time, the eerie tenor of the Great Depression, the sense of living without a past or any hope for the future. Fuchs' ability to replicate the quixotic energy of life on the streets of New York in this age of futility is unmatched by any of his contemporaries."-The Star Ledger

"The tenement tumult and its setting for what Fuchs called 'the daily mystery' are available for the first time in years. I am giving this to our son, who is part of Willliamsburg's vibrant young set, so he can read about a long-ago Brooklyn, then, as now, a crucible that shaped the American character."-Austin American-Statesman

"There is a touching, reflexive glance backward in much of what Fuchs writes - a sense of the irretrievable in life."-Los Angeles Times Book Review

Daniel Fuchs was born in New York City in 1909. He published four novels and dozens of short stories, memoirs, and essays. He also wrote screenplays, and in 1955 received an Academy Award for his original story for Love Me or Leave Me. He died in Los Angeles in 1993.
