Among the facets of novelist and critic Jerome Charyn's literary career is his status as an observer and historian of the cinema. In this entertaining and slightly wacky sequel to his memoir, The Dark Lady from Bellorusse, the roots of his involvement with the art of film become clear. The 11 year-old Jerome, removed from his mother's perspective by a new little brother, finds far more than consolation at the neighborhood movie house, where he not only spends hours of supposed classroom time, but becomes a kind of mascot for a group of new, if rather questionable, friends: the owner of the movie house, some of his henchmen and the local gangster. With his distinctive style, a deep and accurate feeling for time and place, and an uncanny ability to communicate the world as seen by an unusual young boy, Charyn has created another gem of a memoir, a worthy sequel to The Dark Lady from Bellorusse.
