Manhattan Bully Wars (1947)
From Manhattan Bully Wars (1947)
Manhattan in the 1940s. A privileged boy, Adam Panflick, faces down bullies at his exclusive private school. Meanwhile, he is expelled from Sunday school, sleeps with his best friend Buzzy, is censured for reading Voltaire and descends into delinquency. The result is a spiritual crisis that closes every door but one. Our hero must choose a path that will challenge bullying forever. Manhattan Bully Wars (1947) stands with Catcher in the Rye as a spiritual odyssey of a child growing up in the world’s most vibrant city. Adam Panflick’s quest has exceptional relevance to the current time when the world is on the cusp of a very similar crisis.
