South St. Louis Boy
註釋"If, in one sense, St. Louis in the forties and fifties was like a hundred other provincial cities, in another sense it was like nowhere else, no place that had ever been, with a history, a culture, and ethnic and religious makeup, an atmosphere all its own. In this memoir, Tom Stumpf hopes to show that if was like countless Catholic and lower middle class contemporaries trying to 'come a long way from St. Louis,' he too was unique. South St. Louis Boy gives readers an accurate and vivid sense of what Tom was like and what his St. Louis was like, with the aim of letting them experience for themselves the richness, the mystery, and the humor of what was anything but a dull life in a dull town."--
