Aug 9    Author Raymond M. Weinstein to discuss his novel, "Soldier's Field: A Novel of Postwar Germany."
Raymond Weinstein's novel deals with a 19 year old Jewish-American soldier transferred to West Germany in early 1959 and his experience in a post-Nazi society up until his return to the States in mid-1960 when he was discharged from the army.

This is the author's first novel and it draws heavily on his experience as an American soldier, especially his 16 month tour of duty in Germany.

Weinstein is currently working on a sequel, a novel dealing with the main character's life in the 1960's as a college student living in a Brookly neighborhood suffering from white flight, the influx of racial minorities and the area's severe deterioration.  The author currently divides his time between Georgia and New York.
