Somewhere in Brooklyn

By J.K. Savoy

"Somewhere In Brooklyn" is the odyssey of a young man named Joe and his search for identity during the turbulent 1970 s. Although Joe was entrenched in the traditional values of his Fifties upbringing, the seduction of the Sixties began the erosion of the umbilical lines that tethered him to convention. The Seventies was the knockout punch that forced him to realize that the road to success, that he thought he was riding, was merely a gangplank. Park Slope, Brooklyn is where Joe lands and meets his true self. "Somewhere In Brooklyn" is a work of fiction loosely based on the real life experiences of its author.

Customer Reviews

A most enjoyable journey into Brooklyn . . .

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.
