My Dad is Dead: and Other Funny Stories

Death. Its a part of life and something we all must accept. Whether it be our own demise or losing a loved one the experience of death is both sobering and surreal. My Dad is Dead is a group of related short stories that explore that dichotomy through the eyes of a kid. In George Verongoss second book he turns childhood memories into fictionally enhanced tales (he made us say that hes trying to make it a thing). With one foot in memoir and the other in fiction My Dad is Dead recounts the experiences of the author as a young boy (I always wanted to say that) growing up as the last of four children and the only boy to Greek-American parents. Set in the Midwest the breadbasket of America during the 70s and 80s My Dad Is Dead takes you on a journey of preadolescence and all its trials and tribulations culminating in the sudden death of the authors father. If you like your accents thick your humor dark and your tears jerked(?) My Dad is Dead and Other Funny Stories is for you.
