Larry Derfner’s “Playing Till We Have to Go – A Jewish childhood in inner-city L.A.” is a love letter to his father, to his childhood, to the black community and culture that nourished his soul, and to the entire multiethnic world of inner-city Los Angeles of the late 1950s and early 1960s. This memoir is brisk, hilarious, moving and genuine.
