The Aztec Pendant

Set, mostly, in old Binghamton, New York, in the early 70's, The Aztec Pendant follows a year in the life of Harry Lipshitz as he struggles to win the heart of a girl he thinks he has fallen in love with while pursuing what he hopes will be a groundbreaking Honors dissertation in Urban Anthropology. Along the way, he meets up with an unforgettable cast of characters, old and young, town folk and students, the encounters with whom provide a rich backdrop to this touching and humorous "Coming of Age" novel.
