Synopsis

Almost every time we pick up the newspaper we read about some person whose frustrations have reached the point of crisis and who has taken violent action to release their anger. When one of these killings happens, the first question we ask is how a person’s thinking can get so distorted that murder seems like a reasonable solution to their problems. Set in Manhattan, No Place For Charlie shows how Charlie Drummer becomes disenfranchised, how he loses his parents, his eye, his wife and child, and ultimately, his life. He becomes his own worst enemy by virtue of the thoughts he chooses and encourages. He demonstrates that it is not always what happens to us that matters most, but rather how we respond – how we think and feel about what happens to us. His story also shows how we each have the potential to uplift our neighbor or contribute to his despair.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Ralph Larsen was born in Brooklyn, grew up in western Long Island and lived in Manhattan most of his life. He studied creative writing at The New School and Hunter College. His instructors included the novelist Philip Freund who said he was "as good as any of the tough guy writers" of the 1930s. Anatole Broyard, former book reviewer of the New York Times, told him to stop taking writing courses and start writing and suggested Miss Marguerite Young as the only instructor who could possibly be of further assistance. In a subsequent course with her, Mr. Larsen's early efforts received high praise; she said he was "already as good as Hemingway."
