Beautifully written with a voice that will transport you back to the streets of Chicago. Mr. Kingsmill deals with topics of divorce, sexuality, and mental illness while coming of age during the 40's and 50's, while seeking refuge in the magnificent movie palaces of that era. A lyrical work of art that ends with a smile, or a tear, probably both. I highly recommend this book.

Amazing book. So well written. The portrayal of the parents made me like them so much. A perfect ending. I want to ask the author what parts were real and what parts were fiction. The way the author imagined what was going on in the heads of the people he knew was, on the one hand so realistic and on the other hand so much more luminous than could possibly be real.
