A Fun Yet Profound Frolic through the Sixties!
A fun frolic through the sixties is to be had in Eva Pasco’s “100 Wild Mushrooms: Memoirs of the 60’s”, and whether you are a Baby Boomer, who can actually recall the decade that changed the modern world, or you’re a Gen X’er, who’s actually curious about why Grandpa and Grandma are so laid back and cool, Man, you’ll love this amazing collection of memoirs about growing up in a world that ignored the true dangers of the atomic bomb and remained hell bent on keeping Howdy Doody and the American Dream alive.
Pasco’s writing is vivid and beautifully tailored to reminiscing about the events that shaped our modern world. Her exacting approach makes one feel as though they were standing there next to her as she relives her childhood and teenage years in Lincoln, Rhode Island. From silver tinsel Christmas trees and go-go boots, to Toni perms and weekly sessions at the hair salon, to the assassination of President Kennedy and the moon landing—These technicolor shreds of memory carefully stashed away in the attic of Pasco’s mind, have turned her life into a remarkably thorough history lesson. “100 Wild Mushrooms: Memoirs of the 60’s” by Eva Pasco is—quite simply put—Groovy, Man! I highly recommend this amazing memoir as an accompaniment to an educational course on the modern history of America, or, for anyone interested in these winsome yet profound times, an absolutely incredible read.
