Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Originally published in 1944, Alan Kapelner's first novel, Lonely Boy Blues, is an intense (though not totally humorless) story of a dysfunctional family living in Brooklyn during World War 2. Written in a style that captures the rhythms of jazz and bebop, it is a precursor to the Beat novels of the 1950s. This expanded 75th-anniversary edition includes Seymour Krim's 1967 interview with the author from his collection of essays, Shake It For The World, Smartass, and features Arthur Sussman's cover artwork from the 1956 paperback edition. Legendary editor Maxwell Perkins, best known for his work on the first novels of Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Thomas Wolfe, wrote that Kapelner had 'a most unusual talent in narrative, in dialogue, and in perception,' and agreed to take on the editing of Lonely Boy Blues. It would be one of his last projects before his death in 1947.…

Written to 'the beat of the blues' (i.e., a constant soundtrack of jazz and boogie-woogie records, astutely described in The Miami Daily News Record as 'syncopated prose'), leading some contemporary critics to scorn its 'strange mannerisms' and to describe it as 'egregiously pretentious', Kapelner's story of a down-at-heel family in 1940s Brooklyn is by far the most experimental novel to be edited by Maxwell Perkins, who famously steered Fitzgerald and Hemingway away from the avant-garde and into mainstream success. Its style presages the self-proclaimed 'spontaneous bop prosody' of the Beats, and it is perhaps Kapelner's refusal to go along with publishers' attempts to associate him with that movement that has rendered this novel obscure. Its bleak, crowded urban energy and experimental prose are exciting and deserving of interest. The Philadelphia Enquirer praised it as 'An altogether remarkable novel: a tough and bitter story of city life told in the spirit, and largely in the rhythm, of the blues. Overpoweringly brilliant. Lonely Boy Blues is something different and something to remember.'.…
