Uplifting story of how one family survived challenges and setbacks of the Great Depression, World War II and the Postwar years; how they beat poverty, mental illness, and alcoholism. A picture of their thirteen-year experience in public housing in the midst of an ethnic urban village in the 1940s-1950s. Told with engaging candor and humor. REVIEWS: "What a great gift Joe Doolin Has given us with South Boston Boy. A remarkably clear-eyed and unsentimental memoir of growing up in South Boston, through turmoil and tragedy, emerging stronger and more humanely decent. Joe Doolin, like many of others of his generation and neighborhood, has given a life of service to others. South Boston Boy may be his most generous contribution -- inspiring by its honesty and good humor." -- Robert J. Allison, Chair, History Department, Suffolk University; and President South Boton Historical Society "In South Boston Boy Joe Doolin captures much of the essence of South Boston in the mid twentieth century. The book not only chronicles his life in this hostoric and ever evolving neighborhood of Boston, but is done with humor and candor and is an engaging read." -- Anthony Sammarco, author of South Boston, vols. I and II, and several other books on Boston and environs

Boston Boy is Nat Hentoff's memoir of growing up in the Roxbury section of Boston in the 1930s and 1940s. He grapples with Judaism and anti-Semitism. He develops a passion for outspoken journalism and First Amendment freedom of speech. And he discovers his love of jazz music as he follows, and is befriended by, the great jazz musicians of the day, including Duke Ellington and Lester Young. "Nat Hentoff knows jazz. And it comes alive in this wonderful, touching memoir." —Ken Burns, creator of the PBS series "Jazz" "This memoir of [Hentoff's] youth should be appreciated not only by adults who grew up through the fires of their own youthful rebellion, but by those restless young people who are now bringing their own views and questions to the world they are inheriting. They could learn from this example that rebels can be gentle as well as enraged and compassionate in their commitment." —New York Times Book Review "[A] charmingly bittersweet memoir." —Boston Globe "This is a touching book about a painful, wonderful time in Boston…I loved it." —Anthony Lewis "[A] richly textured, vivid memoir of growing up in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood…It weaves a colorful and varied tapestry." —Senator Paul Wellstone

Boston has always been known for its stiff character. So how did this great New England city become home to one of the largest and most notorious adult entertainment districts in the nation? In this expertly crafted history, veteran reporter Stephanie Schorow teases out the issues that created this controversial neighborhood, giving voice to the players who sought to tame or profit from the sleaze snaking its way through Boston. At turns comic and tragic, Schorow introduces us to the politicians, exotic dancers, and wise guys, and residents brought together by the adult entertainment district—a five-acre neighborhood the city engineered to contain the very porno plague it wanted to eliminate. (Meet the nun-turned-attorney who advocated for the First Amendment rights of adult bookstores, a dancer called “the thinking man's stripper,” and Boston's unofficial city censor.) For these people and thousands of others, the Combat Zone is more than a memory—it was a life-altering adventure.
