"Heart of the Old Country is an exciting and darkly humorous novel that takes a guided tour of the ethnic enclaves of South Brooklyn. Not the Brooklyn of Spike Lee or Matty Rich, but a counterpoint, where the hangers-on, those left behind in the white flight to the suburbs, continue to "do business" while defending their shrinking borders."--BOOK JACKET.
