City Boy
Books | Fiction / World Literature / American / General
Herman Wouk
The Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Cain Mutiny delivers an "enormously entertaining" portrait of "a Bronx Tom Sawyer" ( San Francisco Chronicle). City Boy is Herman Wouk's sharp and moving novel of boyhood. A hilarious and often touching tale of an urban kid's adventures and misadventures on the street, in school, in the countryside, always in pursuit of Lucille, a heartless redhead personifying all the girls who torment and fascinate pubescent lads of eleven.
