The Pigman and Me: A Memoir
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Synopsis:
An autobiography, covering the teenage years of Paul Zindel, Pulitzer Prize Winner, and teenage fiction writer. Through it the reader shares the painful and sometimes comic experiences of his adolescence: his move to Travis, a small Polish town on Staten Island during World War II, the turbulent relationship both he and his sister sustained with their eccentric mother, and the delapidated house shared by them and a loud and colourful Italian family. The reader also learns of the relationship with his beloved Nonno Frankie, his own Pigman. This account of the audacious emotional struggle by the young Paul Zindel to find his own identity provides an insight into the influences that eventually led him to write "The Pigman", creating the genre of teenage fiction.
From the Back Cover:
The year Paul Zindel, his sister, Betty, and their mother lived in the town of Travis, Staten Island, New York, was the most important time of his teenage life. It was the year he and Jennifer Wolupopski were best friends. It was the year of the apple tree, the water-head baby, and Cemetery Hill. And it was the year he met Nonno Frankie Vivona, who became his Pigman.Every word of his story is true. And The Pigman & Me has an added bonus--one crucial piece of information: the secret of life, according to the Pigman.
