Rich Boy

Rags to riches journey, morally intricate, personal identity.

"Rich Boy" would be a fascinating ride for you if you're drawn to stories of ascent from modest beginnings to the dizzying heights of elite society. Sharon Pomerantz weaves a narrative that not only captures the allure of the American Dream but also paints a vivid picture of the personal tumult involved in straddling disparate worlds. It’s a tale that mirrors a classic novel's depth with the relatable pull of a modern drama, perfect for those who appreciate character complexity and socio-economic exploration.

Description

Robert Vishniak is the favored son of Oxford Circle, a working-class Jewish neighborhood in 1970s Philadelphia. Handsome and clever, Robert glides into the cloistered universities of New England, where scions of unimaginable wealth and influence stand shoulder to shoulder with scholarship paupers like himself. The doors that open there lead Robert to the highest circles of Manhattan society during the heart of the Reagan boom. For a brief moment, he has it all - but the world in which he finds himself is not the world from which he comes, and a chance encounter with a beautiful girl from the old neighborhood threatens to unravel his carefully constructed new identity.
