<DIV><DIV><b>After a tour of combat abroad, a young man determined to keep to himself is drawn into the dramas of his East Village neighbors</b></div><DIV><BR>World War II veteran Richard Stone is attempting to transition back into normal life. An aspiring writer, he&rsquo;s surviving off the GI Bill and the help of friends. Living free of attachments and responsibilities, he thinks, is the best way to defend himself from the world&rsquo;s pain, like his unhappy upbringing or his best friend&rsquo;s death in the war.</div><DIV><BR>But his neighborhood on Second Avenue won&rsquo;t permit such seclusion. The characters around Richard include a lonely poet, an unhappy literary couple, and a widower who can&rsquo;t stop thinking about the plight of Europe&rsquo;s Jews. Gradually they pull Richard into their lives, and even introduce him to the lovely Jemmy Gordon&mdash;but life and happiness are not so simple.</div><DIV></div></div>
