Book Overview

In the tradition of Mark Twain's 'Following the Equator' and Jerome K Jerome's 'Three Men in a Boat', a new narrative explores city streets with romantic enthusiasm and curious self-introspection. Our protagonist sets afoot a motion of thought and exploration that pulls the reader along on a journey through daily life, seemingly mundane yet weathered with natural beauty. One may confuse it with anecdotal recollection but it's a fictional novella from a promising author, J.D. Fratto.

City Blocks explores the life of a semi-employed 'walker in the city'. His external world engages him until a moment of sadness when a respected old friend dies. A series of minor adventures begin to change his character: A brief trip to the American South; followed by a stay in a German prison; and upon returning home, problematic relationships with his old friends and buddies. These conspire to produce self-reflection and growing wisdom.Romance, reconciliation and happiness emerge.
