Description |
Pete Hamill discusses his book “A Drinking Life.” He talks about immigrants learning about baseball, the working class, and life after war. He says that men face their morality when they go into a war. Hamill shares that before becoming a newspaper man, he was a painter and commercial artist. He reads a passage from his book detailing the “codes of the neighborhood,” discusses not rising above one’s station, and Irish parents building a “green ceiling” to protect their children from embarrassment. He also talks about his mother and her experience with bigotry. Possibly broadcast in March 1995. |
