New York, NY, May 29, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Mr. Bucaria, a former manager in the Military-Industrial Complex has completed this newest work of fiction. “The Eutectic” is a gripping and potent look into a slice of New York's rich immigrant history. It bares much of what motivates second generation citizens and presents interesting solutions which they develop.
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Laurence J. Bucaria’s poignant tale is a love story tied together with a historical drama.
Eutectic: In metallurgy the first component in an alloy to melt. In the melting pot theory the first to reject family induced prejudices and accept those of different origins, a second generation boy proves to be this eutectic. Mr. Bucaria has chosen a slice of New York's rich immigrant history to demonstrate the beginnings of the melting pot theory, which would become reality in the military of World War II. Brooklyn in the nineteen-thirties, sandwiched between the Great Depression and the coming War, was the test bed for new immigrants coping with powerful social changes affecting their lives. The German-American Bund; the Communist Party; the American Legion and Father Coughlin's vitriolic Christian Front all attempted to sway the young second generation Americans. The ever present fear of Infantile Paralysis permeated the city without the yet to be discovered Salk or Sabine vaccines to offer any hope. The city was hopeful that the coming 1939 Worlds Fair would provide a look at the future and an end to the effects of the Depression. Threaded throughout the book is a love story between a Catholic boy and a Lutheran Girl. A new world was emerging. "Happy days are here again!"
Readers who wish to experience this potent work can purchase “The Eutectic” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.
