Editorial Reviews

Jeffery Shierling
In "A Brownstone In Brooklyn," Mr. Julius Thompson paints a picture of life in Brooklyn during the turbulent 60's. It's the story of how good people can be oppressed and held down for so long that they must resort to "any means necessary" to overcome, and how one's family is not always defined by a blood line. It's also the story of how one such extended family bands together to raise an extraordinary young man, our main character, Andy Michael Pilgrim. Mr. Thompson shows us what life was like f

Meet the Author

Julius Thompson grew up in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, New York and attended Bushwick High School. The sixties in Brooklyn was an era that had a personality, a feel, and a life-force that changed a generation. Mr. Thompson felt this energy and experienced these fires of social change.
After high school, Mr. Thompson spent the next four years riding the "A" train to Harlem, in upper Manhattan, to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from the City College of New York. At CCNY, which was located just a few blocks from the famous Apollo Theater, Wednesday afternoons was hard on the undergraduates. The matinee performances of the major R&B groups of the times were more tempting than attending a boring college lecture. Most of the time Mr. Thompson succumbed to the temptation, but still earned a college degree from one of the best universities in the country.
At CCNY, literature instructors like Prof. Thomas Tashiro, fueled the fire in him to become a writer! Brooklyn, New York and attended



Mr. Thompson’s journey to compose a trilogy began in 1995. The fourteen year fictional journey of character Andy Michael Pilgrim from Brooklyn, to Philadelphia and finally Atlanta is now complete. In this pilgrimage, readers experience places that are filled with hopes, dreams, challenges and fears that make us human.

    Page turner/tear jerker

    12/23/03 This book was well tought out. It was easy reading, which meant to me that I had to read it in a week or less. The characters were great. I tought a many of times that the author was really talking about himself back in the day. It seemed very real. Several areas were tear jerkers and stimulating. I would highly recommend this worthwhile reading. It gives us a glimps of history, from the stand point of an individual rather than several accounts which may have been given different view points. Very well done. Can't wait for 'Philly Style and Philly Profile'

    I KNOW THOSE PEOPLE...

    The greatest compliment one can pay the author of his memoirs is: 'I know those people! I really know them!' I feel privileged to sit at the table beside Andy (Mr. Julius Thompson) while his mama, Golda, dishes out a sumptuous ~ though modest ~ feast. My hand is in Andy's. My other hand is in Andy's Step-father's (Marvs) strong black hand while we follow his lead in bowing our heads, and feel his love and his deep and unshakeable faith as he leads us in grace. Mr. Julius Thompson takes us on a literary journey through the tempestuous sixties. His main character, Andy Michael Pilgrim, has a dream ~ a dream in an environment and generation that could easily crush a less enduring black man's dreams. With riots and death all around him, Andy persists in the pursuit of his dream. With the love of his life, Leslie, beside him, Golda's love (leaning heavily on him, sometimes, as a mother's love will tend to do), Marvs guidance and love giving him direction, and a whole wacky cast of loveable characters ~ his extended family ~ urging him on, Andy moves relentlessly forward, overcoming towering obstacles, until his dream is realized... Yes, I know those people. I love those people. And, thanks to Julius Thompson and his book, 'A Brownstone In Brooklyn,' you'll find yourself knowing and loving them, too.
