Synopsis
This sequel to Dubner's memoir, TURBULENT SOULS: A CATHOLIC SON'S RETURN TO HIS JEWISH FAMILY, sends Dubner to his childhood home, which has become a whorehouse. This time, in writing about his childhood, he emphasizes not his parents but a Pittsburgh Steelers running back, Franco Harris, who was Dubner's idol in the 1970s. Dubner looks him up years later, finds him running a doughnut shop, and attempts to become his friend.

Industry Reviews
"Dubner seems confused about what to put into his memoir....Anything goes. In the mix are good points about his parents that would have been valuable in the first memoir and some first-class sportswriting. In the end one suspects that Dubner's desperation is not driven by his need to understand Franco Harris or even his father or himself, but by an ill-conceived literary project that had spun out of control."
New York Times Book Review - Fred Waitzkin (02/23/2003)
