A magnificent, undiscovered writer, Alvin Levin captured the turbulence of lower-middle-class life in 1930s New York, in that twilight period of the Great Depression and the gathering storm of WWII.
“Scabrous scenes of family feuding in the Bronx and crowded Coney Island beaches come at you with the leering verve of Reginald Marsh's drawings and Paul Cadmus' quasi-pornographic paintings.”
— John Ashbery
