Cold Eye, Warm Heart

Novelist Gerald Rosen's eagerly anticipated autobiography. Critic Jerome Klinkowitz writes, "This is the best book about the American cultural transformation of the last half of the twentieth century that has ever been written." After a stint as company commander in the Army Medics and then Boeing engineer working on the Minuteman missile, Rosen dropped out to Greenwich Village in the 1960s to protest the Vietnam War and write his first novel, "Blues For A Dying Nation." By the time the book was published, Rosen was living in a shack in northern California where he finally had found 'a path with meaning.' Other titles by the author include "The Carmen Miranda Memorial Flagpole," "Growing Up Bronx," "Dr. Ebeneezer's Book and Liquor Store."
