Inscribed and signed on the free end paper. Inscription reads: For Dr. Leslie Glenn, my good friend. Herman. Herman Wouk (May 27, 1915 - May 17, 2019) was an American author best known for historical fiction such as The Caine Mutiny (1951) which won the Pulitzer Prize. His other major works include The City Boy and both The Winds of War and War and Remembrance, historical novels about World War II, and non-fiction such as This Is My God, an explanation of Judaism from a Modern Orthodox perspective, written for Jewish and non-Jewish audiences. His books have been translated into 27 languages. The Washington Post called Wouk, who cherished his privacy, "the reclusive dean of American historical novelists". Historians, novelists, publishers, and critics who gathered at the Library of Congress in 1995 to mark Wouk's 80th birthday described him as an American Tolstoy. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Wouk joined the U.S Naval Reserve in 1942 and served in the Pacific Theater, an experience he later characterized as educational: "I learned how men behaved under pressure, and I learned about Americans." Wouk served as an officer aboard two destroyer minesweepers (DMS), the USS Zane and USS Southard, becoming executive officer of the latter while holding the rank of lieutenant. He participated in around six invasions and won a number of battle stars. During off-duty hours aboard ship he started writing his first novel, Aurora Dawn. City Boy: The Adventures of Herbie Bookbinder is a 1948 novel by Herman Wouk first published by Simon & Schuster. The second novel written by Wouk, City Boy was largely ignored by the reading public until the success of The Caine Mutiny resurrected interest in Wouk's writing. Like The Caine Mutiny, the novel is semi-autobiographical in setting and situations, if not protagonist. In 1969 the novel was re-issued, with paperback editions in 1980 and 1992, and according to Wouk was translated into eleven languages. John P. Marquand, in a preface to the 1969 twentieth-anniversary release, likened Herbie Bookbinder to a city-dwelling Huckleberry Finn or Tom Sawyer. In many of his novels Wouk evinces through his characters a love of Dickens, particularly in use of language to set mood. In City Boy he devises humorous twists of language to set a less-than-serious tone throughout this coming-of-age story. Also like Dickens, Wouk expertly manages a large cast of characters, including more than a dozen adults (and a one-of-a-kind horse named Clever Sam) woven in-and-out of a narrative about children, with depictions that ring true both in description and actions. Herbie contrives to have himself (and his sister, his cousin Cliff Block, and his rival Lennie) sent to Camp Manitou (run by Mr. Gauss, the principal of P.S. 50, as a source of summer income) when he learns that Lucille Glass will be there. The second half of the novel skewers the summer camp scene of the 1920s even as it sets up a succession of abject failures and spectacular successes for Herbie. Herbie and Cliff contrive to burglarize The Place to finance a well-intended camp project, and that crime is the device by which all the subplots come together in Dickensian fashion, at a cost to Herbie's bottom if not his psyche. Wouk fashions a moral to the tale without preaching, but the boy's victory in the quest for Lucille proves tenuous at best. Derived from a Kirkus review: This is a tragi-comedy of youngsters, understandingly, amusingly, entertainingly presented, with enough bite in the interpolations of the adult world against which they carry on incessant warfare, to keep it from a too humorous approach. Wouk tells of eleven and a half year old Bronx Herbie Bookbinder's school and camp exploits â " exploits promoted by his desire to be liked and admired for something other than his fat and his brains. With his cousin Cliff he manages a modicum of trouble for himself and a maximum for others. He loses his heart; he achieves passing fame in a school play by creating a General Grant that never was; he competes unsuccessfully with athletic Lennie for popular favor; he suffers a few frustrations at camp. Then he reaches a peak of fame in constructing a slide for the mardigras, only to have it tempered by realization that he has an unpleasant confession to make to his father. The confession ultimately saves his father's plant- and the finale, despite punishment, is more than Herbie had hoped. Nice going.
