Black Leather and Blue Denim, A '50s Novel is a work of pure fiction. If any story character or characters resemble any real person or people on planet Earth, dead, alive, unborn, or reincarnated, then that similarity is strictly coincidental. The author remembers living at 50 Daffodil Lane in the Dogwood Hollow section of Levittown, Pennsylvania between 1954-'59. The author admits suffering from severe fugues of amnesia and from perpetual hallucinations. He often has difficulty distinguishing reality from fantasy. Sometimes, the writer thinks that fiction is fact, and also that fact is fiction, so this makes him no different than the average American who watches television, or who reads the daily newspapers. The writer has always enjoyed escapism, preferring that phenomenon to the monotonous rigors of everyday life, and this, he believes, is his vital link to the remainder of his species.
