Idyllic in many ways writes this author. This book is a remembrance and a tribute to an American way of life beginning to fade in the face of advancing technology and the inevitable march of history. A small town like Winterset, Iowa, is a time capsule for its golden era in the mid-twentieth century, a treasury of Americana which not everyone experienced directly but which inhabits a corner of every American's imagination. The author shares his hometown with us through the eyes of a school boy who saw it in the glorious full color of childhood innocence, but who at the same time could not avoid the gray skies of puberty and of never quite feeling like just one of the boys. Gradually he began to suspect that he was actually one of the "boys who hadn't figured out how to appreciate girls as much as the script called for." Whether this tale makes you wish you too had grown up in a place like Winterset, or leaves you grateful you didn't, you'll get a new perspective on what it was like, and why anyone who did would never disown his hometown."--Back cover. 500 $a Imprint from Amazon. 500 $a "A Holly Grove book." 600 10 $a Truckenbrod, Phillip, $d 1941- 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Gay teenagers $z Winterset $z Winterset $v Biography. 650 0 $a Gay men $z United States $v Biography. 650 7 $a Gay men. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939117 650 7 $a Gay teenagers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939229 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 651 0 $a Winterset (Iowa) $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Winterset (Iowa) $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Winterset (Iowa) $v Biography. 651 7 $a Iowa $z Winterset. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219112 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 2 $a Autobiography $0 (DNLM)D020493 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000520 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117022708.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=61A84342DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
