Some things have been left out of this book concerning the impressions of the times, in this unlikely story, that took place in San Francisco; -the times were more of an observation to me, now sketches of a life, -and I felt at the time as if I was looking in some big window of a store in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota, trying to wipe a circle in the dead of winter to see the toys. That is how I felt as a Midwesterner in San Francisco, like a toy in the window, -in this new era of freedom, sweeping the country, and it did, that is, it all started right there, right in San Francisco, the year, l968-69; -most names are fictional, some are not.I have provided some sketches of the karate tournament, controversy that filled the dojo, and some moments with Gosei Yamaguchi

Hemingway Style,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Romancing San Francisco: [Sketches of life in the late 60s] (Paperback)
I've read a lot of the classic's and this book kind of reminds me of Hemingway's style of writing, I kind of missed it; everyone one else is using bad words to make the book sound right, and it doesn't need to be; this book is just refreshing, with an old classic touch to it, and a good story with a moving plot, and theme, about the late l960's in San Francisco, when the US, if not the world, was changing. Evidently, the author was in the middle of it, and he uses a different name I expect, so he can tell the story.
