From the author of Lost in Yonkers, Broadway Bound, form part of Neil Simon's famous, award-winning autobiographical trilogy set in 1940's Brooklyn. Eugene (the young Neil Simon) acts as the central character and narrator, charting the rise of his career against the decline of his parent's marriage. Eugene and brother Stanley's struggle to become professional comedy writers receives an unexpected boost when they are invited to submit a sketch for a coveted radio series. The sketch could bring the boys success but risks betraying their family and their roots. Will they give in and drop the sketch or are they, at last, Broadway bound? Simon's exquisite imagery and humor capture the love each of us harbors for our family but loses within our cluttered lives.
