•  A Catskill Novel by Steve Zetlin  •
SYNOPSIS

For me, it was my favorite time of the summer. The hectic July the Fourth crowd had just checked out, and though the rest of the summer would still be busy, it wouldn't become as wild again until Labor Day when the hotel's numbers expanded once more with families and several-hundred desperate-singles searching for romance and marriage.
 

And also for me, it was just another double-digit day. Scanning the pool area, while stroking my ego, I counted five-seasonal ladies, two-dining room waitresses, two-nightclub waitresses, one camp counselor, and, of course, Naomi Burns.
 

I really didn't want to include Naomi in my count because she had actually seduced me during my first summer, but I knew I had to continue sleeping with her since her dad was my boss, the hotel's owner, the one and only, flamboyant, Sam Burns.

about the author

Steve Zetlin, a graduate of the University of Delaware, has presented an in-depth look of the inner-workings of the Catskill hotel life. Unlike most Catskill works, Steve has devoted several chapters to the year-round behind-the-scenes relationships between the management, the staff and the guests.

 

In popular Catskill jargon, Mr. Zetlin is a "Mountain Rat" having spent sixteen summers and three off-seasons working in seven hotels and overseeing the supervision of five major outdoor pool operations.

 

He has extensive knowledge of the Catskill towns, villages and the more remote hamlets. He has also dedicated this novel to all of those folks who have a Catskill connection and who undoubtedly long nostalgically for that once great, flourishing and wistful culture.
