«World's Fair» is the historical novel by E. L. Doctorow, published by Fawcett Columbine/Ballantine in hardback (274 pages, in English).
Edgar is a boy growing up in the Bronx, New York, in the 1930s, and his childish gaze alternates with that of the adult who, years later, tries to reconstruct that past. The narrative rescues everyday life, urban landscapes, and emotions of an era, up to the excitement aroused by the World's Fair.
Originally published by Random House in 1985, the work received the National Book Award for fiction in 1986.
For readers of historical and literary fiction, especially those interested in twentieth-century New York.
