At age 95, author Joseph Kahn wrote his first book in longhand. It was then transcribed by a teacher of English at Florida Atlantic University. The content is from Kahn’s role as an eye witness to and participant in an unbelievable century of American history. Research was a no-no; you did it, saw it, or reacted to it, over the span of four generations.

No More Cherries in the Bowl includes kids stuff, Depression stuff, teenage stuff, romantic stuff, military stuff, making-a-living stuff, jazz stuff, swing stuff, and sports stuff. Also included are biased opinion offerings, smart alec pieces, and an original mystery novelette.

The reader will visit the Brooklyn, New York ghettos and the wilds of Manhattan. The trek ends in the lobby of The Atrium in Boca Raton, Florida, where these words were written.
