Descriere magazin:
With deadpan humor and obvious affection, Helene Stapinski recounts the story of her growing up in a family as thoroughly corrupt as the Hudson County political machine that whirs behind the scenes (The Village Voice). Now a PBS documentary, this astonishing memoir of growing up in rough-and-tumble Jersey City will steal your heart ( People ) With deadpan humor and obvious affection, Five-Finger Discount recounts the story of an unforgettable New Jersey family of swindlers, bookies, embezzlers, and mobster-wannabes. In the memoir Mary Karr calls a page-turner, Helene Stapinski ingeniously weaves the checkered history of her hometown of Jersey City--a place known for its political corruption and industrial blight--with the tales that have swirled around her relatives for decades. Navigating a childhood of toxic waste and tough love, Stapinski tells an extraordinary tale at once heartbreaking and hysterically funny. Praise for Five-Finger Discount By turns hilarious and alarming, [Helene Stapinski\'s] book reads on the surface like something by Damon Runyon and Elmore Leonard, with a dark undertow of real-life pain and disillusion. --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times It\'s a brilliant book, a darling book. It is the blessedly modest chronicle of a magical consciousness that seems to have been born pulling diamonds out of the muck, hearing angels\' voices in the fiercest thunder. . . . I adored every word of this wondrous book. Get it. Read it. --Michael Pakenham, The Baltimore Sun In the tradition of . . . Rita Mae Brown and Amy Tan, Ms. Stapinski is an exciting writer, unabashedly candid, and at the same time unashamedly self-contained. Five-Finger Discount is a must-read. --Victoria Gotti, The New York Observer What [Frank] McCourt did for Limerick, Ireland, Helene Stapinski does for Jersey City. -- The Star-Ledger Hugely entertaining. -- The Sunday Times (London)
