Beschreibung:
John F. Reinus is a native of New York City, where he and his two brothers, one real and one imaginary (a source of significant maternal aggravation), lived with their parents during the turmoil of the 1960s. He began his writing career at the age of twelve, but interrupted it to attend medical school. Recently retired after employment as a member of the faculty of Albert Einstein College of Medicine, he moved to Connecticut and resumed writing. Undertow is his first completed work of fiction.
Red grows up in the rarefied world of a privileged Manhattan childhood: a world of uniformed doormen, private schools, and elegant townhouses. This is also the world of the 1960s, when societal conflicts are disrupting previously accepted patterns of American life.
