Seeing a previous post with the name of NY's 2nd most storied
borough reminded me of a great trilogy that has never
received the respect it was due. Thomas Boyle's Brooklyn
trilogy -- ONLY THE DEAD KNOW BROOKLYN, POST MORTEM EFFECTS
and BROOKLYN THREE -- are three of the hardest, most acutely
observed and best written novels ever done with a city as a
subject. And, yes, that does include Kennedy's Albany, NY,
novels.
Just amazing stuff. PB
