About this product

Product Information

The brilliant creation of ninety-year-old debut novelist Millard Kaufman, co-creator of Mr. Magoo and twice-nominated for Academy Awards for screenwriting, Bowl of Cherries rivals the liveliest comic epics for giddy wordplay and gleeful invention. Kicked out of Yale at the age of fourteen, Judd Breslau falls in with Phillips Chatterton, a bathrobe-wearing Egyptologist working out of a dilapidated home laboratory. Entranced by Chatterton's daughter, Valerie, Breslau abandons his studies and decides to move in with the eccentric scientist and assist with research. But the work is not what Judd had thought and, mesmerized by Valerie, Breslau follows her to a number of strange locales-a secret attic in her father's home, a Colorado equestrian ranch, and a porn studio beneath the Brooklyn Bridge. Judd ultimately makes his way to the forlorn Iraqi province of Assama, ending up in a jail cell from which he narrates the novel, awaiting his execution while war rages on around him. Hailed by The New Yorker as "equal parts Catcher in the Rye and Die Hard," Kaufman's debut is a book of astounding breadth and sharp consequences, containing all the joy, madness, terror, and doubt of adolescence and everything after.

Reviews
"[T]he Asian American population was the fastest growing minority from 1980 to 1990, increasing by almost 100 percent. Despite this fact, there are still relatively few reference works on this group. Here an excellent group of contributors document the lives of 166 distinguished Asian Americans, from scientists and Nobel prize winners like physicist Tsung Dao Lee to martial arts expert Bruce Lee and figure skater Michelle Kwan. Just the thing for most school, public, and college reference collections." Library Journal, "Entries, written by experts in the specific ethnic group, reflect the diversity of Asian Americans. The articles are well documented and each includes a brief bibliography....Recommended for academic and public libraries."- Choice, "[T]he Asian American population was the fastest growing minority from 1980 to 1990, increasing by almost 100 percent.
