Waiting for Yesterday

Pages From a Street Kid's Life (VIA Folios)

Michael Parenti

Waiting for Yesterday is a captivating Literary Nonfiction Memoir that provides readers with a revealing picture of Michael Parenti's early years as a youth in New York's East Harlem. The book offers delightful vignettes about growing up in a three-generation, working-class, Italian family, along with amusing predicaments of a street kid's life. It challenges many stereotypes faced by Italian Americans and offers both vivid imagery and sharp political observation against a backdrop of impoverished tenements, stoops, punitive classrooms, and a neighborhood church with its ornate celestial offerings. This delightful and sometimes touching story is the human comedy at its best.
