In My Wonder Years, author/poet Jeffrey Pipes Guice presents a moving collection of short stories, poems and photographs from growing up in New Orleans during the 60s and 70s, a thrillingly tumultuous time of sex, drugs and rock n’ roll. Illustrating how we can never really escape our roots, Guice’s journey allowed him to see how searching for a place and a purpose allowed him the space for self-reflection and the ability to see the person he wanted to be. His enlightenment came and from there, a lifetime of self-discovery while striving to become the type of son, companion, father and friend he could be proud of. Guice describes his memoir as a cross between A Streetcar Named Desire and Confederacy of Dunces with a sprinkling of The Big Easy. Brimming with American nostalgia, My Wonder Years will surely resonate with anyone who’s ever struck out on their own to find themselves.
