About This Book
A pithy and laugh-tickling memoir about growing up and wrestling with one's purpose, identity and coping style. The back cover description describes it well:
What do you get when you mix a childhood forged in the boozy-hazed post-war partying of the 50s -- replete with Lenny Bruce recitations at age eight -- with an "adulthood" as a college-hopping educational film actress, boy-guru disciple, L.A. song-writer, night club comedienne and prison school teaching artist? You get a feeling-centric, language-obsessed Cleveland refugee who has an epiphany and decides to save the world with:
a humble offering of delusions of grandeur
flashbacks and forward thinking
wit and wisdom
formidable foibles
unrelenting challenge to the resigned intransigence of the status quo
run-on sentences
wild stories, mostly true.
