Richard Klin Reconsidered A Forgotten Work of YA
For Our Culture, Richard Klin pondered The Bully of Barkham Street. Klin told Study Hall that he had read the book as a 1970s preteen. He said, “It’s stayed with me ever since–for reasons that I still don’t totally understand. My thoughts are in this essay.”
Klin writes, “The Bully on Barkham Street is, in its own way a bildungsroman, albeit on a small, nondramatic scale.”
Klin’s writing has appeared in Jewish Currents, Brooklyn Rail, CounterPunch, and other publications.
