Dickie: A Novel - Softcover
"It's 1957, the year of the Russian launch of Sputnik, and Dickie Frudel's family seems poised for greatness. Werner von Braun has come directly from NASA to recruit Dickie's genius-brother, Ralph, and business is brisk at the family hardware store. But despair soon follows, and the Frudel family's dreams suddenly evaporate. In the centre of it all is Dickie, the self-effacing younger brother, possessed with clear and simple dreams and an ability to survive."

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Dickie is the congenial kid, the self-effacing younger brother, possessed with clear and simple dreams and an ability to survive. Tefs skillfully carries us through Dickie's crises while implicating the myopic 1950s mindset in them. In Red Rock, ON, the ideology of containment proves emotionally crippling, the North American obsession with technology and development leads to economic collapse, and small-town xenophobia emerges as blatant bigotry. Dickie is a coming-of-age novel about our culture as much as it is about Dickie himself. Seller Inventory # 003572
