Description:

This work is an often boisterous and poignant look at growing up Irish, Catholic and poor on the sidewalks of New York. Even as he dodges the slaps of merciless nuns and learns how to wallop a punch-bag, Smith is haunted by the spectre of his mysteriously absent father.

Synopsis:

Growing up in the rough and tumble of New York City in the 1940s and 50s, Dennis Smith was dirt-poor, Irish Catholic and missing a father. Told in a first person narrative, this is a powerful odyssey of a young man coming of age in a confusing world.
