About this listen

 Rural Pennsylvania in the 1970s was a meeting ground between past and present. William S. Repsher details what it was like to be raised in a working-class family of seven, from his staunchly Irish-Catholic grandmother, to his saintly, lapsed-Protestant mother, and his hellraising oldest brother who taught him the evils of smoking by pinning him to the basement floor and blowing smoke rings in his face. While most lessons weren't that harsh, the book details the innocence of the time, fading into the looser reality of the decade as he navigates his teenage years at the turn of the 1980s. Guilt, anger, revenge, vomiting (and other bodily functions), death, discovery and eight tracks. It's all there. After living 30 years in New York City, Mr. Repsher felt an urge not just to define his childhood but to shed light on a place that's rarely written about, positively or negatively. In some respects the book is nostalgic, but he also hopes to crawl inside the nostalgia and drag out some of the more embarrassing and dark memories that grew less comforting with age. As New York City reveals so many hard, emotional truths about the people who live there, Mr. Repsher hopes to do the same for the place where he was raised.
