THE LAST ANGRY MAN by Gerald Green /BROOKLYN DOCTOR /MAD AS HELL AND NOT GOING..

Here for your delectation is the SPECTACULAR & RARE--------------------THE LAST ANGRY MAN by Gerald Green.Like da Vinci pencil-sketching a future masterpiece, Gerald Green used "The Last Angry Man" as a sort of scratch pad for "To Brooklyn with Love," a small but wonderful novel he would write a decade later. This earlier work is a character study---and a fine one---rich with textured detail and the colorful language of first-generation Americans and the other survivors of hardscrabble life in the postwar ghetto. Dr. Sam Abelman, who will reappear in the later book with little changed but his name, is angry. He rants about disease, poverty, intolerance and the absence of ambition; he resents the specialists who steal his two-dollar patients, and the patients who are too cheap to pay. He is a frontier physician with a heart of gold, a lovable curmudgeon who might be an angel with a better attitude and fewer Yiddish curses. The plot is uniformly gripping. This portrait of the gritty Brownsville section of Brooklyn and its inhabitants is infectious and real, and Green's generous prose takes us to a faraway time and place and culture as effectively as any time machine ever might. The trip is well worth it.NOT TO BE MISSED!!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!This is the softcover stated Pocket Edition from SEPTEMBER 1959. Both the cover and the book are in excellent condition.
