Young Eric Malone

Ed Mahoney

4.9/5 (27374 ratings)

Description:The possibilities of mind and of life . . . All the necessary ingredients for happiness are at hand. A mix of fiction and memoir, Young Eric Malone gives glimpses of another era—1950s and ’60s New England. Eric was an Irish Catholic kid from the “mill town” of Lowell, Massachusetts. His summers at the ocean and lake were happy times, but they also included a few edgy friends, those tense 4th of July and Labor Day competitions, water rescues, and even a fatal tropical storm. Eric shared a love of baseball with his dad and grandfathers, especially when they all watched Mel Parnell’s 1956 no-hitter on a new black-and-white television. The heroics of Ted Williams and Warren Spahn highlighted a boyhood of sports dreams and outdoor explorations. He even had a few risky confrontations with a rock-throwing rival. In a new neighborhood and new schools as an adolescent, Eric developed a love for literature and history. He also enjoyed speculating on the possibilities of the Second Vatican Council with high school classmates. When he joined the school’s debate team, Eric “discovered that he could analyze ideas quickly and even eloquently at times.” He had found the activity that would stretch his mind and sharpen his speaking skills for years to come. Debate team pressures and rigorous classes saw Eric struggle in his early college years. Once he had the freedom of an English major, however, new worlds of “undiscovered wisdom” opened to him. Yet the Vietnam War also loomed as he graduated from college and rode on an August afternoon toward a new life in Boston. He had just turned twenty-two in the summer of ’67. ***** Young Eric Malone is a fictional memoir from the l950s and '60s. It shares episodes from the life of an Irish boy and adolescent who grew up in Lowell, Massachuestts, and addended Keith Academy and Holy Cross. The book evokes immigrant Irish themes and the anxieties and possibilities of the protagonist's early life. The reader shares Eric's summer adventures, boyhood misbehaviors, rising academic and debating success, and his search in religious and literary reading for what to believe and how to become a man. Portraits of grandparents, parents, family, and especially close friends and rivals extent across the fourteen stories. The story ends with Eric's anticipation of his first big-city experiences in Boston in the summer of l967.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
