“Cathedral Late Afternoon” is a compelling historical fiction novel about a young man whose life is profoundly altered by the darkness and danger of the Cold War. In 1958, Aaron Rivera, a bookish young man from Brooklyn, is conscripted as a soldier and sent to Schweinfurt, Germany, near the Cold War border.

With memories of that war still fresh, how can another, indeed far worse catastrophe be contemplated? How can Aaron, who is Jewish, train with soldiers of the new German army, attend a reunion of the old German army, and be smitten with an art-loving German young woman? Readers will have a fascinating time exploring the answers to the questions in Aaron’s mind as he navigates his way through love and conflict in this fascinating Cold War tale.

Author
Bob Lavner’s concern with war’s residue dates back to his days as a journalism student at Long Island University. His instructor in a scriptwriting class liked his Civil War play well enough to arrange its sale and eventual airing by CBS television. Interrupted by two years of military service along Germany’s Iron Curtain border, Bob resumed his career as a caption writer for UPI photos. This position allowed him – via his viewing lamp – to be among the first Americans to witness the construction of the Berlin Wall. In a return journey only months later, he toured the Communist Germany he’d recently opposed as a soldier. Bob and his wife Rena are longtime Bergen County, New Jersey residents. As a newsman, writer-reporter, and media specialist, he has worked on both sides of the Hudson River.
