They were mostly high school graduates in  their late teens and early twenties, the sons of immigrant families. It  didn&#8217;t matter; there was little trace of that showing. They didn&#8217;t look  or act alike, but they had a sense of who they were, sort of proud for  some reason, without much to show for it. From the introduction, at the  centre of the group was Arnie. He might have been selling real estate  for the time being, but he always had his eye on the next thing &#8211;  Christmas tree farming, perhaps, or uranium mining. Then there were Moe,  who had a gas station and garage, and Barney, who drove a truck for  Pop&#8217;s Pies. Observing it all was an art student working odd jobs to  afford his paints and brushes &#8211; Phil. In 110 vignettes about Arnie and  the guys, Philip Sultz presents a fictionalised portrait of the  working-class Buffalo of his youth. He also vividly sketches the  downtown Manhattan of those days, where his protagonists are drawn to  study and to work. These stories &#8211; by turns funny and poignant,  perfectly told and full of telling details &#8211; evoke not only the life of  two cities, but the atmosphere of postwar America. Even in shadow of  McCarthyism and the atom bomb, it was a time emblematic of possibility  and change. <em><strong>Lake Effect Days<\/strong><\/em> is illustrated  with colour reproductions of Sultz&#8217;s critically acclaimed collages,  which echo the text in their formal perfection and add new layers of  allusion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This critically acclaimed collection of very short stories about postwar Buffalo, New York illustrated in colour with the author&#8217;s own collages is now available in paperback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13353,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[21063,21064],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-13352","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-history","7":"product_cat-sport-recreation","8":"author-by-author-philip-sultz","9":"publisher-abbeville-press","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Lake Effect Days - ACC Art Books UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Title: Lake Effect Days, Pages: 160 Pages, Publish Date: 4th Nov 2020, Author: Philip Sultz, ISBN: 9781946053152.
