Publisher's Note
From the critically acclaimed author of The Odd Sea, a poignant and magical coming-of-age story that "deftly explores the mysteries of love and loss" (Time) It's the early 1980s and the suburban streets of New Jersey are filled with Bruce Springsteen-era teenagers searching for answers. Anthony Rubin is a rising high school hockey star faced with a family that is falling apart. His father has had an affair with Anthony's best friend's mother and his own mother has abandoned the family for Florida. Confronted with an overwhelming sense of loss, Anthony focuses on the one thing he feels he can save-the tough-talking daughter of a reputed Mafioso, a Juliet to his Romeo. Merging the commonplace and the mythological, Frederick Reiken's richly layered second novel presents unforgettable characters whose lives seem at once familiar and archetypal. Filled with joy as well as heartbreak, The Lost Legends of New Jersey is a rich, resonant tale of the extraordinary magic that can arise within ordinary lives.

Industry reviews
"The other female characters, Jess and Claudia, share Juliette's predilection for a dose of degradation--a limitation of Reiken's imagination. Nevertheless, he creates a connection between Anthony and Juliette that is as convincing as it is sweet, and only the most unromantic reader can refrain from speculating about whether their love has a chance. In the process of showing the young couple falling for each other, Reiken reminds us that when good literature comes along, it feels, like true love itself, as if something legendary is occurring."
Washington Post - Bliss Broyard (08/31/2000)

"[A]ffectionate but tough-minded....In scene after scene of this novel-in-stories, he gets the amiable melancholy of suburbia...exactly right....Suburban life has taken a beating in our literature over the years....After such depictions of suburbia as a hotbed of hypocrisy and blank despair, Frederick Reiken's more forgiving vision comes as a welcome relief."
New York Times Book Review - Gary Krist (08/20/2000)

"Young love and first romance dominate this book, but the more mature relationships resonate best.... It isn't all the fancy angles, the shifts in tense from past to present that make THE LOST LEGENDS OF NEW JERSEY a strong book. Those things just obscure the story and impede the flow of an otherwise terrific narrative. Reiken is good not because he plays with structure, but because he is able to take ordinary people and render them extraordinary in their tragedies and victories in love."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - James Brown (08/20/2000)
