“Brighton Beach Memoirs” is Simon’s portrait of an American family in the 1930s, as seen through the eyes of a 15-year-old boy. Eugene Jerome is an aspiring writer and baseball player, whose adolescent insights about his family, the Great Depression and growing up are alternately hysterical and touching. The resulting coming-of-age story is an affectionate, thoroughly entertaining lesson in overcoming hard times with grace, warmth and humor.
