Customer Reviews

An easy-going but very moving book

Wandering around this year's BEA I came upon the author of this lovely book, Jeffrey Lewis. After I read his work I realized that the writer and the book were very similiar in character and style--both generous to the reader, unpretentious, open-hearted in the best ways. Theme Song for an Old Show is an entertaining narrative, full of unique moments and honest longings. It tells a story about family and a history so near to us we have forgotten we needed some perspective on it--that of New York in the 1980's and before. I was glad to meet both author and novel.
