American Elegy: A Family Memoir
By Jeffrey Simpson. This richly detailed and engrossing memoir is a tribute to a small town and culture. A descendant of one of the families that settled Parnassus, Pa., in the foothills of the Alleghenies, the author recalls his early years there and his move to Pittsburgh. "The passages are treats for any reader, though some hold special appeal for Western Pennsylvanians...a melancholic lesson about the American Dream," wrote one critic. In paperback, 227 pages.
