    [synopsis] => Square Root of a Fallen Arch is the true story about growing up in New York, circa 1916-1929. It is, based on, a collection of written memories and is, told from the perspective of its narrator, Willian Loeffler Jr., who we, meet at age six-year of age. Thus the book covers, the period from just before WW I through the roaring twenties and prohibition, all these providing a continuing point throughout the narrative.

Square Root of a Fallen Arch is, very much a coming of age story. While humorous and immediate, the motif running through the story shows a wistful and touching awareness of slow erosion in the narrator's known world and the emergence of a new, more modern version. It is important that William is not quite so sure that this emergence is really progress. Still through by bookend, the city William knew as, a young boy is a very different place.

The Arch in Washington Square Park (with which the book begins and ends) is, symbolic of a world fallen and replaced by another.
