5.0 out of 5 stars
Captures the flavor of the Seinfeld neighborhood,
By
This review is from: Casualty Loss (Hardcover)
Jim Weikart--tax accountant, novelist and political activist--knows well the Upper West Side of Manhattan near Columbia University (the "Seinfeld" neighborhood). It is a place that, in its own way, is as exotic as Conan Doyle's English Moors or Agatha Christie's Cornwall. Weikart captures the flavor of this community of yuppies, academics and street people (laced with an occasional mobster) quite well. One of the bars featured in his murder mystery series is apparently based on a watering hole only two blocks from Tom's restaurant, famous from the opening scene in many Seinfeld episodes.I also recommend Weikart's earlier book, Harry's Last Tax Cut (a title which appears to spoof that of the celebrated Edwardian era mystery, Trent's Last Case). |
