Three Circles of Light

Published in 1960 by Julian Messner, Inc. and in paperback by Ballantine Books, Three Circles of Light recounts the character Paul's early blissful years 'before' his father's death in the building collapse detailed in Christ in Concrete. It's a patchwork of fabulous West Hoboken tenement moods and scenes beneath the overarching motif of "Boyhood's sinless urgent hours when fond dreamings distant and budding passions awakened that Springtime of first love."
