Living Up The Street

Living Up The Street | Gary Soto

3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read

In a prose that is so beautiful it is poetry, we see the world of growing up and going somewhere through the dust and heat of Fresno's industrial side and beyond: It is a boy's coming of age in the barrio, parochial school, attending church, public summer school, and trying to fall out of love so he can join in a Little League baseball team. His is a clarity that rings constantly through the warmth and wry reality of these sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic, always human remembrances.

I enjoy Soto‘s books! I can relate to his settings as he was born the same year as me! In this childhood/adolescent memoir, he evokes that precious decade from 1957 to 1967 in a bustling community devoid of internet and virtual existence. The neighborhood was our world, getting into harmless mischief and scaring the wits out of our moms…

Living Up The Street | Gary Soto

It's back to school next Wed, & this is how I reread--by dividing it over several days. I borderline resent the time rereading these takes away from my TBR & in progress books.
