Jackson, MS: University Press of Mississippi, (1990.) dj. Hardcover first edition - A memoir of growing up during the 1930s in a Jewish ghetto inside the larger African American ghetto of Harlem. Born with a severe cleft palate, much of Horowitz's boyhood was spent in the hospital undergoing one re-constructive surgery after another. The streets taught survival - numbers-running and ticket-scalping were a source of cash for Horowitz; turf wars and muggings were commonplace - while regular visits with his sister to the Apollo theater nutured a love of music, and Central Park at night was a magical place. Photographs. 116 pp. ISBN: 0-87805-4286.
