Larry Duberstein six previous novels have invariably been critical successes and won several literary awards. His first novel, The Marriage Hearse (1988) was a finalist for the Boston Globe Literary Press Competition and a winner of a New American Writing Award. Postcards from Pinsk (1992) also won a New American Writing Award. And his masterpiece about the ‘lost” last 30 years of Herman Melville’s life, The Handsome Sailor (1998) was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year.
The Day the Bozarts Died is a story filled with Duberstein’s rich and unique wordplay, humor, pathos, and richness of character as it follows Stanley Noseworthy’s rise and fall as both an artist and a lover; and his descent from lothario to loneliness as his younger years pass on and he—with fewer and fewer options—arrives into middle age. It also has a lot to say about art and commerce, they ways in which people fool themselves, and the consequences of decisions made and unmade.
