‘Baseball, Nazis & Nedick’s Hot Dogs: Growing Up Jewish in the 1930s in Newark’ by Jerry Izenberg
Rutgers grad Jerry Izenberg’s loving memoir of his home town of Newark fills in a lot of the holes for us Jersey Boys who grew up reading his sports reporting in the Newark Star-Ledger. Born down the shore in Neptune City 93 years ago, he’s still going strong writing words that leap off the page, and, boy, does this memoir ring true.
