Michael Rosenthal explores subjects as diverse as his teen-age fascination with Hubert's Flea Circus on New York's 42nd Street; life with his stoic father; sex in the fifties (for \"Nice Horace Mann boys\"); a brief and unspectacular performance as a janitor while a graduate student in Wisconsin; step-fathering; assorted aspects of a long career as a college Dean; and Rosenthal's tenure as a member of the Board of Directors of a wildly successful company on the New York Stock Exchange. And other memorable moments . . . some treated head-on, some with a gentle irony they deserve. In \u003ci\u003eScraps, Orts, and Fragments\u003c\/i\u003e, Rosenthal has provided opportunities for people to experience a life through his eyes, and as he states, experiences which are \"interesting for me to have lived it all, perhaps amusing and interesting for readers.\"\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"ALLIANCE DIST - SF","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41504210354309,"sku":"PR401827","price":78.7,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0213\/3637\/files\/image_TNXQH1GVQZEB.jpg?v=1769533478","url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.co.nz\/products\/scraps-orts-and-fragments","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
