In "The Chili Cone Chronicles, " Michael Winslow shares his
remarkable story of growing up and coming-of-age in a small
midwestern town during the tempestuous, whirlwind time of the
1960s. Funny and poignant by turns, Winslow offers a memorable
journey through the mayhem as he relies on the comfort of his
family, oddball friends, and small-town charm to make everything
right in his own little corner of the world. Against a backdrop of
calamitous world and national events, Winslow recalls the cocoon of
his youth on a sane island at the twilight of corner grocery
stores, passenger trains, drive-in movies, and greasy spoons. While
it may be true that you can never truly go home again, Winslow's
stories awaken the child within, providing glimpses into a fading
way of life filled with such delights as eating an ice cream cone
filled with hot chili, surfing Suicide Hill in flattened cardboard
boxes, and feeling the exhilaration and pulse-quickening excitement
that accompanied boxcar running in the dark of night. Thoughtful,
warm, and full of hometown vignettes, "The Chili Cone Chronicles"
will compel the willing to recall their own budding youth-and the
events, places and people that were a part of it.
