Greetings from Belleville, New Jersey: Collected Writings came up as we were putting together our upcoming reading list, and several members were immediately drawn to its sense of place and memory the way it captures everyday life, humor, and humanity with such warmth and authenticity. It’s the kind of collection that invites reflection, nostalgia, and lively conversation about how our hometowns shape who we become.
Greetings from Belleville, New Jersey
collected writings by
Anthony Buccino
Anthony Buccino created a time machine throu
gh words and stories of growing up the 1950s, 1960s and beyond based on life and growing up in Belleville, New Jersey.
You don't have to be from New Jersey to enjoy this book, you just need an inclination to remember when chasing the mosquito man and his big blue DDT cloud was a great thrill for kids on their bikes or running in their Keds!
And who can forget the excitement on hearing the bells of the approaching ice cream truck to the neighborhood?
If you remember defrosting refrigerators or the simpler things of times past, you'll enjoy Buccino's essay collection.
More than forty essays and reflections on everything from junior high school bullies to selling pretzels for Ed Strat at Belleville High School football games at Municipal Stadium. This collection includes the Excellence in Journalism award-winning Don the TV man.
