Last Days of Summer

Last Days of Summer by William Morrow Paperbacks tells a Brooklyn, early-1940s coming-of-age story through an unusual collage of letters, report cards, transcripts, notes, and clippings. It’s funny, heartfelt, and especially appealing if you enjoy baseball, Jewish historical fiction, and relationship-driven narratives. The main tradeoff is that the epistolary format can feel “choppy” to readers who prefer a traditional omniscient narration.
