New York Fiction :
Nights in the Gardens of Brooklyn
Harvey Swados pays tribute to the concerns of ordinary people here in a naturalistic and controlled style that bears comparison to Cheever and Bellow. In these portraits of America at mid-century, a professor's wife loses her connection to her husband but rediscovers herself; a boy who idolizes his Coney Island uncle learns that human fallibility is everyone's lot; and in the celebrated title novella, post-World-War-II New York plays host to a generation of idealists who must come to terms with a country increasingly divided against itself.
