About this Event
One-Legged Mongoose: Secrets, Legacies, and Coming of Age in 1950s New York has recently come out to great acclaim. It chronicles the years he was aged ten to twelve, narrated by the boy he was then, the complex relationships that shaped him, the challenges of growing up Jewish in post WWII America, and his journey from boyhood to adolescent awareness that he was responsible for his own life. Marc is the author of four poetry collections including NOT GOD also staged Off Bway. He is the recipient of numerous writing awards including The Robert Penn Warren Ward lecture in the Humanities from Yale. This is his first book of prose.
Douglas Maxwell – Moderator: Art advisor, educator and psychotherapist
