Description

E.L. Doctorow’s evocative novel captures the sensory landscape of 1930s New York through the eyes of a young boy growing up in the Bronx. The narrative centers on the 1939 World’s Fair, utilizing the exposition as a poignant backdrop for exploring themes of family dynamics, the immigrant experience, and the fleeting nature of childhood innocence during the Great Depression.
