Boom! Comic Confessions of a Boomer Corner Boy
$30.00
The 1950s and 60s have long been romanticized as “boom times,” but for one of the 70 million boomer babies born between 1945 to 1965—little Freddy Lavner of Southwest Philadelphia—life was a little atypical. Lavner’s family, friends, neighbors, classmates and teachers are all background characters for a laugh out loud funny look at what life was really like in a rowhome neighborhood of middle-class dysfunction!
381 pages, hardcover
Baby boomer humorist Fred Lavner takes you back to the corner of his Philadelphia neighborhood and beyond for a hilarious account of his schools, friends, exploits and other examples of teenage angst. From a juvenile prank gone awry in Atlantic City in 1964 which delayed LBJ’s acceptance speech at the conclusion of the DNC Convention to getting caught by armed marines while sneaking into Camp David in 1968 when Nixon was there Lavner’s tales are a blast from the past!
