Walking Back To Brooklyn
It’s 1957 and twelve- year-old little Murray is woken by his brother in the middle of the night and told that the family is moving. In spite of his vigorous protestations that he can’t go because of the game he’s scheduled to pitch for the Grasshoppers the next day he’s thrown into the car and after an eight hour ride finds himself in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Some months later he decides to escape from exile in the far north and return to his earthly paradise in Brooklyn by walking back to Brooklyn which he is certain he can see from the front stoop of his apartment house in spite of it being nearly 400 miles away.
