"There aren't enough people left who get mad, plain mad."Sam Abelman is a doctor who never takes the easy way out. A man of principle, he serves the disadvantaged citizens of a deteriorating Brooklyn neighborhood. His work is hard, his life harder. A TV producer finds him and, as he interviews the old man for his reality TV show, comes to learn that anger is not a flaw but a deeply moral response to the corruption and fraud of his city. Based on the author's own father, this is a raw, compelling portrait of the neighborhood, life, and character of an angry hero.

"The seismic shifts in American life in the years following World War II have inspired several generations of novelists, but few have described the fallout of those changes as poignantly and with as much understanding as Gerald Green did in The Last Angry Man published in 1956. At a time when the world had begun to focus on angry young men, Green created a magnificently angry old one as his hero. Based on his father, the title character is a doctor and a man of principle whose life℗þs work is about to be examined for the first time."@en
"Dr. Abelman sixty-eight and weary but still undefeated, is made the focal point of a TV show. The doctor, however, is known to his Brooklyn slum as 'nasty-tongued, ' and he has no reverence for TV raitings or the TV public.""@en
