How could it NOT be good?

Imaginative skill and generosity of spirit by Brooklyn's poet laureate, Norman Rosten follows in the tradition of Walt Whitman and Sherwood Anderson to portray affectionately his "neighborhood" and finally answer the question "what makes Brooklyn Brooklyn>?"...an exuberant character all its own, as those of us who hail from there know all too well, despite living in the shadow of that "other" boro you know, the one with the taller buildings, but the boro of churches is actually livable and has Coney Island, dontcha know...a must read for all "ex-"patriates and in-patriots. See ya under the boardwalk!
