Reviews
"Alternately funny and heartbreaking, "Easter Rising" progresses in swift, conversational style...MacDonald is a compelling storyteller, cut from the same cloth as Angel's Ashes author Frank McCourt.", "Where All Souls reads as a eulogy for a lost neighborhood, "Easter Rising" punches through its bindings like apunk rock zine..."Easter Rising" will not let down fans of its violently beautiful predecessor"., Many of us like to say that rock and roll saved our lives. In Michael Patrick MacDonald's case, the common hyperbole may be simple truth.

Synopsis
Michael Patrick MacDonald's memoir All Souls told the story of the loss of four of his siblings to the violence, poverty, and gangsterism of Irish South Boston. In his numerous speaking engagements ever since, MacDonald is frequently asked, "How did you get out?" Easter Rising is the searing answer to that question. Desperate to escape the "normal" route of violence and drugs that surrounds him, MacDonald finds his identity in the burgeoning punk rock movement. His forays into the Boston underground and New York's East Village pull him into the club scene vortex of Johnny Rotten, Mission of Burma, and the Clash. At nineteen MacDonald heads to Paris and then London. Running out of money, he contacts his Irish immigrant grandfather -- who once accused him of "worshipping the devil with the punk rocks." Grandpa offers a loan, but only if Michael promises to visit Ireland. It is this journey "home" that offers MacDonald a chance at reconciliation with his tumultuous past., In All Souls, Michael Patrick MacDonald told the story of the loss of four of his siblings to the violence, poverty, and gangsterism of Irish South Boston.

At nineteen MacDonald escapes further, to Paris and then London. Out of money, he contacts his Irish immigrant grandfather -- who offers a loan, but only if Michael will visit Ireland. It is this reluctant journey "home" that offers MacDonald a chance at reconciliation -- with his heritage, his neighborhood, and his family -- and a way forward., This follow-up to his memoir All Souls tells of MacDonald's desperate need to escape the normal route of violence and drugs that surrounded him in Boston. He chronicles how he found his identity in the burgeoning New York punk rock movement of the 1970s., This follow-up to his memoir "All Souls" tells of MacDonald's desperate need to escape the "normal" route of violence and drugs that surrounded him in Boston.

- a***o (49)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Dernier moisAchat vérifiéItem is as described in post, great quality, clean, not damaged, great purchase. I'd like to point out that it was also shipped promptly, arrived on time, but the local post office refused to send me any notification of it arriving. Therefore I only got it today, almost a month late. The seller is at no fault, they shipped it on time. So I am highly satisfied with my purchase and the seller, highly recommend them for anyone on Ebay. Great books at great prices, amazing experience.
