Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket has minor wear, binding sound, internally clean. In Witherington it is the evening of a hot, rainless day. The bugs falling from the ceiling and the smell from the boneyard both prevent sleep, and Lenny is driven out on to the pavement with the other residents of Parliament Street. Here the gas lamps create their own small world and Lenny, lovingly, absorbs it. Thre is Malka, for instance, her brother spitting away blood and life; "Rabbi" for ever studying by the light of a lamp brought, it was said, from Russia itself; and Bennet of Bennet & Son, upholsteres to a trade as imaginary as the "son". .The tragic and the absurd in life are often hard to distinguish, and in Star Dust on the Pavement, though there is sadness, there is also humour and affection.

As a young man he worked mostly as a violinist in Manchester. In 1940 he joined RAF Bomber Command as a wireless operator. Despite minimal formal education (he left school aged 14 without a certificate) Broadie went up to Oxford in 1945 to read philosophy, politics and economics. This turn of events was triggered when, trying his luck from a Gloucestershire airfield, he sent off a writing sample on Spinoza addressed 'to whom it may concern at the University of Oxford'. The response was admission to Balliol on a War Memorial studentship. The story of a young Jewish musician disfigured by terrible burns. A scarce book.
