Is There Something of Them in George Malamud?

Malamud also grew up in New York obviously a little bit earlier than the story is said and he lost his mother when he was a teenager. Do you think that there is something of him in George? Well I think if there isSomething of him is the love or the developing love for the books. There was this mythology of the book in that generation of writers that is kind of obsolescent it's not obsolete these days.
