Set in the 1970s, Somewhere In Brooklyn is the odyssey of a young man's transition from professional pilot and corporate executive to a coffee house poet who denounces money and chooses to live on the streets of Brooklyn, NY. It is loosely based on the real life experiences of its author, J.K. Savoy.Somewhere In Brooklyn holds a mirror to the coming of age of a person, a neighborhood and a generation. It is a story that will resonate as true for those who experienced the Seventies and with truth seekers of any generation.
A year ago I met author J.K. Savoy at a street fair on Atlantic Avenue in wonderul, beautiful Brooklyn. Savoy was selling his newly published book 'Somewhere in Brooklyn', and, coming back into Town from Los Angeles, I decided to chat up the author, and of course, purchase his book. Reading this neatly crafted story of fiction meets fact, I found myself, a Brooklyn-born lover of life, relating to many of the odyssesys Savoy has written about. What I enjoyed most, and I think anyone who loves Brooklyn can relate to is that Savoy's style of writing gave birth to a breathing, living place many of us love. Stylistically, the character development was strong, the dialogue moving, and the settings beautiful. Overall, this is an enlightening story of a person coming of age . . . and the setting could not have been better. J.K., nicely done.
