Description

"An Unexpected Laugh is always the Best One!"

Suburban Derelict, an Auto*Bull*ography, is a wave of fun and mischief in every chapter. As a salute to growing up, Carolyn Parello, hopscotches from the suburbs of Chicago to the urban jungle of New York City, to the tranquility of New England. These coming-of-age tales are written in a charismatic and refreshing voice, and in her words, "How the story should have been told!" Parello's characters are flawed, messy and downright weird but somehow more lovable because of it. Each chronicle is colorful, exaggerated and brutally honest, and at the end of each journey she leaves us with a brilliant life lesson. While this is an irreverent comedy and a work of contemporary fiction, it is also a keen observation of human idiosyncrasies, described in captivating flair. This hilarious journey is warm hearted, down to earth...it's Erma Bombeck on crack!

Author Bio

About the author,

From the Southside of Chicago to the mean streets of New York City, with many stops in-between, Suburban Derelict is a salute to growing up. Author/artist Carolyn Parello hopscotches across her life events, including a mad stint in advertising, a dizzying spell as an airline executive, an exhausting run, chasing around NBA players, a rebellious tour of duty as an oil painter, to finally landing on the distant shores of Buzzards Bay to record all the shenanigans in this Auto*Bull*ography! www.Carolynparello.com
