Dreaming of Columbus by Michael Pearson
In this memoir, Pearson renders time and place vividly through lyrical narrative and generous spirit toward his characters, juxtaposing descriptions of adolescent escapades with the grim discipline of parochial schools. In this Bronx, dreams of escape fuse with bittersweet memories.
