このコンテンツについて

"Laskin's narrative captures it all - the fervor, the drugs, the sex, the politics, the magic, the tragedy of the '60s and '70s and most of all the angst of that wonderful, terrible time. A fun, transporting, and evocative read." (Daniel James Brown, New York Times best-selling author of The Boys in the Boat)

A turbulent coming-of-age novel about a young man who loses his innocence and finds his soul in the ferment of New York City in 1970

On the brink of a new decade, as the radical 1960s turns to the 1970s, 17-year-old Sam Stein is about to grow up in a hurry. Raised in a cushy Long Island suburb where his parents consign him to the care of Tutu Carter, their live-in housekeeper, Sam is learning uncomfortable truths about his place and privilege in his relationship with Tutu and in the world. When he stumbles into a New Year's party and meets firebrand Kim Goodman, his life is changed forever. In short order, he falls in love and flees with her to the drug-soaked East Village of Manhattan, and gets swept up in the revolutionary political movements of the time.

An aspiring writer, Sam bears witness to the seismic upheavals of the day while remaining utterly blind to a high-stakes plot that Kim and her comrades are executing right under his nose. As seemingly unrelated events click into place, what Sammy knew and what Sammy didn't know become matters of life and death - not only for himself and Kim, but for Tutu and her grandson Leon in Harlem, and for the radical protest movement teetering between disillusion and revolution. Thoroughly enjoyable, peopled by unforgettable characters, crackling with wit and suspense, What Sammy Knew brilliantly evokes a chaotic, dangerously polarized, and historically important moment in America.

批評家のレビュー

“Engaging...hugely accomplished first novel.... There is a great deal to admire in this foray into fiction. With wit, acuity and tenderness, Laskin paints a vivid portrait of a young man coming of age...timely and engrossing.” (Minneapolis Star Tribune)

"A vivid portrait of adolescence and New York City in the 1970s." (Seattle Times)

"Fresh and entertaining...it races to the finish as a compelling read well worth your time.... A sweet novel that holds our interest to the last page." (New York Journal of Books)
