From famed comics creator Joe Kubert comes this moving coming-of-age story set within Depression-era New York City. Ruby is a handsome young man growing up in a poor Brooklyn Jewish family. When Ruby falls in with a local mobster called Monk, his initial eagerness to make a few dollars to support his hardworking parents ends up getting him in way over his head in the organized crime world. Now he’s caught up in both a war between the Jewish and Italian mobs over unionizing factories and an affair with his dangerous mentor’s gorgeous moll.

I love Joe Kubert. He is such an inspiration for being so prolific later in life. I’m not a comic book artist or writer, but Joe’s dedication and continued is really motivating me in my own life.
I’m picking this up on a whim. It sounds like my kind of story. Plus I’m an amateur scholar of the Jewish faith and I love crime tales. Should be fun 😀
