American Past Time
- Book Blurb
- Praise for Len Joy’s American Past Time
“This darkly nostalgic story is a study of an American family through good times and bad, engagingly set against major events from the 1950s to the ‘70s as issues of race simmer in the background… an expertly written examination of the importance of dreams to the human psyche. A well-crafted novel that will particularly appeal to sports and history aficionados.”
Kirkus Reviews
“Len Joy has an eye for the humble, utterly convincing details of family life: the look, feel, taste, and smell of work and school, meals and sport. This is mid-twentieth-century America seen neither through the gauze of nostalgia nor with easy cynicism but rather with a clear-eyed tenderness. Readers will care deeply, as I did, about the Stonemasons’s inextricable triumphs and failures."
