If you're looking for deep, thought-provoking prose, you've come to the wrong place. No One Special: Confessions of a Badly-Behaved 'Boomer' is a ride in a '76 Celica, a chance to crank the music, stick your head out the window, and feel the wind of youth. And let's face it, never have we needed a trip back to the '60s, '70s, and '80s more than we do today. With his irreverent memoir, S.W.

Produktbeschreibung
If you're looking for deep, thought-provoking prose, you've come to the wrong place. No One Special: Confessions of a Badly-Behaved 'Boomer' is a ride in a '76 Celica, a chance to crank the music, stick your head out the window, and feel the wind of youth. And let's face it, never have we needed a trip back to the '60s, '70s, and '80s more than we do today. With his irreverent memoir, S.W. Capps paints the definitive landscape of 20th Century suburban America. And his message-that our similarities far outweigh our differences-couldn't come at a better time, resonating not only with Baby Boomers but with readers of every generation. There are stories of brawling brothers and Groundhog Day vacations, dance class debacles and ruined Christmases, all wrapped in a package of polyester and told in a style that's one part Wonder Years, one part Dazed and Confused. The result is an often hilarious, sometimes poignant voyage to our very beginnings, one filled with mistakes, misdeeds, and misdemeanors, a not-so-subtle reminder that we're all No One Special. And that's exactly what unites us.
