Soda Parlor in Brooklyn

Farrell, James T. | February 27, 1937 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "Low Company," by Daniel Fuchs. In his three novels, "Summer in Williamsburg," "Homage to Blenholt," and "Low Company," Daniel Fuchs has been striving to write a fictional "dictionary" of the people of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in New York, and nearby sections. His latest novel derives logically out of its predecessors. Most of its action takes place in a soda parlor at such a place as Brighton Beach or Coney Island. The protagonists are from the same stratum of society as were those who appeared in the earlier novels, and the action is confined to three days, during which time one observes the characters working out their separate destinies.
