Delmarva Today 10-29-21
Author Jerry Sweeney is Harold Wilson's guest. They discuss Sweeney's new book, Down Broadway, a collection of short stories. Sweeney is an Eastern Shore writer but spent most of his life in and around Manhattan. The delightful stories in this collection capture the vibrancy of the post WWII years in New York -- a time when the city was the art capital of the world, the only global super power, and the economy was growing. In addition, there was the awakening and life through changing events that included the feminist and civil rights movements of the 1960’s. The stories delightful and very well written. Sweeney is the author of seven novels in the series The Columbiad that traces the life of a family through the Twentieth Century. He is also the book review editor of the Delmarva Review.
