Raktažodžiai:

A real-life mystery of books and basketball.

Frankie King was a precocious student and a promising basketball player at Brooklyn’s James Madison High School in the early 1950s. Sportswriters were comparing Frankie to the greatest college and professional players of all time, and he was recruited as a starting guard at the University of North Carolina. But Frankie dropped out before playing a single game.

A real-life mystery of books and basketball. This graphic novel follows King’s enigmatic life from its auspicious start in the limelight to his very reclusive existence in New York City, where he authored more than forty novels, including a popular series of cozy cat mysteries written under a woman’s pseudonym. Whatever Happened to Frankie King is the story of a unique and sometimes troubled life, as well as a meditation on dreams realized, lost, and abandoned.

Publishers Weekly The truth about Frankies life after his disappearance is now relatively known, thanks to the research and interviews by the creators of Whatever Happened to Frankie King, which I highly recommend for showing Franks actual lifes struggles with smoking, alcoholism, gambling, and mental health and successes with his writing and family relationships.

Kevin Wolf Graphic Medicine The Neugeborensfather and sonhave created an amazing tale about a loner, Frankie King, star basketball player, mystery writer, and hobo-philosopher. The art and the words are wonderful.

Jerome Charyn, author of The Secret Life of Emily Dickinson Basketball, Brooklyn, antisemitism, and psychosis pervade Jay Neugeborens rich oeuvre. All converge in his meticulously researched, vibrantly illustrated study of the elusive, inscrutable Frankie King.
