Download or read book Too Long Ago written by David Pietrusza and published by Church & Reid Books. This book was released on 2020-11-11 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sardonic expedition into a small-town ethnic childhood and post-World War II America—and how to survive Rust Belt hard times. At last . . . a memoir finally worthy of comparison to the uproariously funny fiction of the great Jean Shepherd, author and narrator of the beloved A Christmas Story. Only . . . it’s all true. Sometimes . . . sadly true. Award-winning presidential historian and baseball scholar David Pietrusza’s witty and wise tale of growing up in the 1950s and 60s, Too Long Ago is no Leave It to Beaver or Father Knows Best episode. It’s a unique glimpse into an unjustly ignored and forgotten immigrant experience—Eastern European and devoutly pre-Vatican II Catholic. A tale of a tight-knit Polish community, transplanted from tiny, impoverished Hapsburg-ruled villages to a hardscrabble, hardworking, hard-drinking Upstate New York mill town. It’s how the first rust corroded the Rust Belt, sidetracking dreams but not hope. It’s a lively saga of secrets and hard times, of insanity, of manslaughter and murder, of war and postwar, Depression and Recession, racetracks and religions, books and bar rooms, unforgettable personalities and vastly unpronounceable names, of characters and character, of homelessness, of immigration—first to America and then from Rust Belt to Sun Belt—of vices and virtues, and how a sickly, bookwormish boy who loved history and the presidents finally discovered a national pastime and made it his own. Meet Too Long Ago’s mesmerizing cast of characters: Depression-ravaged Felix and Agnes Marek, Corporal Danny Pietrusza and his wartime adventures, Uncle Tony Lenczewski and his raided saloon, brutal serial-killer Lemuel Smith, the high-kicking weather-prophet “Cousin George” Casabonne, carpet heiress and OSS operative Gertie Sanford, caught behind-enemy-lines Mary Zaklukiewicz, and the homeless (but not hopeless) Uncle Leo Zack. Alternately sharp-edged and warm-hearted—sometimes shocking and always surprising—Too Long Ago is a poignant tour-de-force, a no-stopping-for-breath, coming-of-age narrative, akin to cross-breeding Jean Shepherd’s boisterous A Christmas Story with Pulitzer Prize-winner Richard Russo’s gritty semi-autobiographical novel Mohawk (set mere miles from Too Long Ago) and presenting the genre-bending result in the mesmerizing form of a decidedly non-WASPY rendition of an epic Spalding Gray monolog.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of by-Gone Days When my husband asked me to write the foreword to this little book I was glad, for no one except the author can feel so great an interest in this as I do. His articles and pictures for the outdoor magazines have been a pleasure to both of us, and it has long been my desire to see them gathered into a volume in permanent form. In Memories of Bygone Days there is no morbid tendency to disparage present joys, but simply a wholesome retrospect. Lulled in the countless chambers of the brain Our thoughts are linked by many a hidden chain. We may make of memory a blessing or a curse, just as we will. It is a stupendous thought that we are augmenting or decreasing future pleasure by the way we spend today. The only use we have for our past is to get a future out of it. All the pleasures of today One by one soon glide away To the golden shore of sweet long ago. Happy is that man whose memories are pleasant and profitable company. Alice kimball steele.

Book Synopsis Dreams of Long Ago and Memories So True by : Rose Della Trujillo
Download or read book Dreams of Long Ago and Memories So True written by Rose Della Trujillo and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DREAMS OF LONG AGO AND MEMORIES SO TRUE is a consolidation of my mother's poems, songs, and short stories. I have attempted to introduce each by writing about the circumstances surrounding it and how each came into existence, and by adding an exhibit to illustrate the idea of each. The illustrations and snapshots are mine. There are two exceptions. The Northern Lights picture was taken by a news station and is so noted, and the picture of the vintage roses used for the cover of this book and which is used, courtesy of VintageHolidayCrafts.com. The reason this certain illustration was chosen for a book cover is because my mother's first name is Rose ( the book cover illustration has roses), her favorite color is pink (thus the pink roses). This book began to take shape, when I was searching for some now forgotten item in my mother's desk. Instead, I found a notebook of poems, dated, and dating back to about the year 1950 and written in pencil. I started to read and when I finished, I thought it would be a good idea to have a book published with these poems. My mother is now ninety-four years young. There is no time to waste. I want her to see this book, with her work, before she goes to live with God. She, herself, wrote a short biography, which is in the book, and which indicated that she would like to be able to know that her grandchildren would be reading her poems, songs, and short stories when she is no longer here. After the consolidation was completed, I read the book from beginning to end and found that, not only poems, songs, and short stories are in this book, but also the lives of her and her family. There are happy times and sad times. and there are tragedies. But, through all that, that has happened, the family is doing well. I think the reader will be able to relate to the events in this book, since it is an everyday American way of life. The poems are in chronological order. Each has it's own introduction, as do the songs and short stories. Each also has a light-hearted illustration made up of pictures taken from the family album or illustrated by the daughter.

Book Synopsis Finding Yesterday One Memory At A Time by : Mary Anne Tuck
Download or read book Finding Yesterday One Memory At A Time written by Mary Anne Tuck and published by . This book was released on 2023-10-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yesterday seemed so long ago, and then I remembered. It's in writing, my writings. Growing up in a small northern Michigan town, graduating high school in the mid-fifties, writing has always intrigued me. In my late twenties the opportunity to write a weekly column in the local newspaper was a wonderful gift from the editor. From then on it was a thought here, a memory there; jot it down for later. A sixty-two-year marriage, three sons, two grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, owning and operating a Hallmark shop, raising sheep, living on a small farm what's not to write about? Think of the opportunity to lead our church's choir for twenty-nine years without a formal music education; later becoming a lay speaker in our denomination. I never imagined a book would become a gathering place for my memories. There are a long line of yesterday's, waiting in this book. I hope you'll read and enjoy them with me.
