Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition, First Printing. A very nice copy--tight, bright and fresh with just bit of soiling to some page edges. A TRUE FIRST EDITION as number line has a "1", which is required. A Red Brick Softcover Original, New Writer's Series. 'Blue Paradise' is a first novel by young Matt Bloom, who, like his hero, is a boxer. If you're expecting another Rocky, think again. This would be Rocky for the '90's Generation X.' Blue Paradise has the funky feel of a hot and nasty New York summer heat wave. It's about a bar with no air conditioning, and no future.[I]t's the author's gift for creating atmosphere that wins us over. Any native New Yorker knows of summer nights so hot that you had to sleep on the fire-escape, or wished you could. The Paradise of Nick's realm is more like Dante's Purgatory, where you sweat-out a few eons before making it to the next level, which could be no blessing.Bloom replaces the 'Rocky'-type ending with a note of hope, much to the reader's surprise. And there you have the germ of reality behind his writing: he won't be phony, he won't give up the grounding in reality he gives his characters. Sure Nick and Alice will live happily ever after.maybe. If that's what you want. Or maybe he'll be knocked over by an angry bookmaker for squelching? You can think that, too. But New York is always there, steamy and very real. Seller Inventory # 003458
