What Are The Best Books Set In Ditmas Park?

Do you have a favorite book to represent the neighborhood? The New York Public Library has compiled a list of books set in different neighborhoods throughout the city. It’s an okay list but we think there are a lot of books that are missing.

For Ditmas Park/Flatbush, the NYPL lists:

• The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon
• Sophie’s Choice by William Styron

Both are good reads, but we want to know, what are your favorite books set in the neighborhood or by authors who’ve lived in the area?
