The Olympic Spirit and Other Stories: A Piltdownlad Zine Collection - Paperback
by Kelly Dessaint (Author)
Tales from the San Gabriel Valley... Featuring the adventures of the Baudrey Boys, three rambunctious brothers growing up along the San Bernardino Freeway in Rosemead, exactly 11 miles from downtown Los Angeles. These interconnected stories celebrate their random hijinks. From turf wars with the poppers and lockers to scoring free McDonald's food courtesy of the Eastern Bloc. From getting stoned on the first day of school at Mark Keppel to riding bikes in the Wash, to playing Rambo at Marrano Beach, trashing Emerson Elementary, getting locked up at the Temple City Police Department, hunting the Night Stalker and having Parents Without Partners... A visceral look at growing up in the suburbs east of East LA in the seventies and eighties. Collects three Piltdownlad zines: The G ero Ching n Stories, Junior Careers and The Olympic Spirit. Presented in the original typewritten and cut-and-paste design.
