Set in Manhattan and the Bronx in 1939, Doctorow's nostalgic novel is a slice of life seen through the eyes of a young boy who is distracted from the hardships of his own life by the dazzling promise of the World's Fair.
Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Startled awake by the ammoniated mists, I am roused in one instant from glutinous sleep to grieving awareness; I have done it again."
Industry Reviews
"The characters themselves are as clear as if they had been etched out of wood with fire....His past purrs and hisses and is capable of scratching deep enough to draw blood."
Nation - Edmund White (11/30/1985)
"The Alpschulers spring to life on these pages...what's more, the decade springs to life as well. 'World's Fair' is better than time capsules; it's a slice of a long-ago world."
Detroit News - Anne Tyler
