As in Gerald Green's memorable The Last Angry Man, the setting is Brownsville, a decaying yet stubbornly vital neighborhood of old two-story homes and crumbling tenements. The time is the Depression, that era of murdered hopes and betrayed promises, and the action takes place on a single breathless day in July, 1934.

The Ulysses of Mr. Green's narrative is Albert Abrams: 12, near-sighted, undersized, cursed with weak ankles and flabby muscles, the last man chosen for the ringalevio teams even though he boasts the highest IQ in the history of Public School 133. Scorned by the athletes and wildmen, Albert finds strength in Kipling, Conrad, and Jack London. Moreover, he is the greatest scorekeeper in the annals of Longview Avenue sporting events.
