	Danny Fisher
		A Stone For Danny Fisher is a very serious, early novel by Harold Robbins that looks at the effect of the Great Depression on a lower-middle class Jewish family.
		The novel opens in the mid-1920's as a young Danny Fisher and his family move in to a new house in the Brooklyn suburbs.
		Danny's boxing skills attract the attention of the local hoodlums and he is offered a large sum of money to throw the 'Golden Gloves' championship - a fight he could win easily and would bring him professional fame as well as, it is hoped, his father's acceptance.

		A Stone For Danny Fisher is his best book ever in my opinion : had he never written another book, this alone would have made him an author to remember.
		Danny Fisher narrates his own story in the first person, starting with a short, stark depiction of his family meeting at a pre-arranged place and then cutting to flashback mode to explain why.
		Danny is an anti-hero here, but rarely a villain, so sympathetically and starkly are his story and dilemmas painted.

		This is my first message to rara-avis, though I've been a silent reader for the past six months or so...
		What I remember of A Stone for Danny Fisher, which I read as a teenager, is the hero pissing on a woman he'd just slept with.
		I guess I think this might have to do with being hardboiled and be of interest to some of you folks.

		On the rear sleeve were three fl and white stills from the film, There was also a synopsis of the film on the back sleeve, which made reference to the fact that the film was based on Harold Robins' A Stone For Danny Fisher.
		The reason for this, it has been suggested, was that first pressings of the sleeve included as one of the tracks Danny!, if this is so, then no doubt when the editing was done the song cut from the film, the sleeves (probably prepared months in advance) would have had to be altered.
		In all fairness, it is most unlikely that the panel was stuck on to hide reference to Danny - a number of albums were produced this was during the '50s.
