The Manhattan Boys

By: Koppisch, Paul

"THOROUGHLY ENTERTAINING "
"A NOSTALGIC LOOK AT YOUTH IN LATE 50'S NEW YORK CITY ."
"GREAT CHARACTERIZATION "

It's 1958, and a ragtag gang of wayward teens on the verge of adulthood navigate the mean, unforgiving streets of New York City while eking out a living hawking newspapers and doing other odd jobs for minimal pay. Emotions flare when a rival Brooklyn gang insults one of the group's girls. A rumor then spreads that the Brooklyn gang has obtained a gun in anticipation of a fight between the two groups which no one seems to be capable of avoiding.

A coming-of-age story, The Manhattan Boys lays bare the sometimes dangerous, often tumultuous time between childhood and the adult world with mid-century New York City as the noisy, colorful backdrop.
