Real Life with Compassion.......2007-10-10
A Drinking Life by Pete Hamill is a reflection on his drinking past. Without sentimentality Hamill tells a hard story. He portrays a loving mother, and an alcoholic father. He chronicles his impoverished childhood, his tough coming of age, his difficult search for meaning, his newspaper career, and his regrets about the way he treated his first wife and children. As the title implies his memories are tied together by recollections of alcohol, and a drinking culture that both fascinated and repelled him. The bar was a place of refuge where Hamill could be a man. It was a place to celebrate, to commiserate, to identify with others, to escape loneliness. It was the only place he bonded with his father.
But the bar and the alcohol that fueled it had an evil side. It stifled human consciousness; it dulled pain, boredom, and joy. It allowed unconsciousness in the midst of living. During the 1960's at the peak of his newspaper career he realized drink was making his hands shake when he typed, and his mind so soft he couldn't spell easy words. He quit. Drinking memories ended. Hamill's love for the writing life was more important than his love for booze.
His memoir is not a cautionary tale against using alcohol, nor is it a self-serving whine against the way he was brought up. He writes like the reporter he is. Honest sentences, specificity, and recalled emotion inform his text. He presents clear snapshots of his 1940's childhood in Brooklyn. He lets the reader draw conclusions, or judgments. He presents the characters who walked across his mother's kitchen floor--his Irish father, mostly drunk, and his siblings. He gives us his friends. He moves into the 1950's with raw adolescent energy--lots of sex, lots of booze. Drinking so overpowers the narrative, that at times I felt exhausted just by reading of his drinking binges.
Hamill's talent, in this memoir and in other work, is a passionate love for real life. He spreads humanity on a broad canvas without moralizing. He paints violence, gentleness, loneliness, and companionship. Real life is hard to look at. Hamill gives it to the reader like he gives it to himself. Without bitterness, with humility, with forgiveness, and with compassion.
A colorful life, a well-told tale........2007-10-02
Oh, the places Hamill will take you in this gritty, unflinchingly honest look at a fascinating interior life. Growing up in a poor neighborhood in Brooklyn, complete with cockroaches, Pete slowly acquires an understanding of what it means to be an Irish-American.
Around age 8, his father, Billy, walked him to Gallagher's, the corner saloon, where young Pete got his first introduction to the camaraderie of the neighborhood bar. There he witnessed his father's serenading of the crowd, after loosening himself up with booze.
It was an initiation that would influence Pete for many years to come. Throughout the book, Hamill notes the persistent, persuasive messages that our society gives, that drinking is an essential social lubricant.
Be it a wedding, a funeral, the beginning of a job, or ending of one, joining the Navy, going on leave or vacation, on and on, drinking was invited, expected, nearly demanded.
The book provides great insights into the times. Hamill writes, "We lived to the rhythms of the war (WWII). Before the War, During the War, After the War."
Hamill's forays into the world of art are enlightening. While taking a drawing class, he becomes enamored of a nude model, and they become involved. His loves, travels, thoughts on religion and family kept me entranced, as well as his inevitable slide into an alcohol-induced moral deterioration.
The surprising aspect here, was Hamill's moment of clarity, when he realized he had a choice, that he could disrupt the cycle of the "Irish-curse". We cheer for him as he strives to make a sober life for himself. An interesting life, told by a great writer.
to drink was to be a man..that what was expected of you.........2007-04-20
growing up in an Irish Catholic family I remember for my 18th Birthday my father brought home a cocktail for me from the local bar. To drink was to be expected of you. Pete Hamill has written a poignant, funny, sobering look at his life and his journey with alcohol. When he finally realized how much his life was defined by booze, he just quit. This is a courage book, beautifully written full of Irish vigor and spit.
"One thing was certain: in the Neighborhood,the bad guys never went to the Library.".......2007-01-28
What a sroryteller and what a story to tell.I can't believe it took me so long to "find" this wonderful writer.I had never read anything by him or even heard of him.I do recall, seeing the name on books in the bookstore;but since I tend to read mostly non-fiction,I guess I've just been passing him by. This book has been on my bookshelf for some time,so I decided to pick it up and see what it was like;not really expecting much. I hadn't even recognized him as an Irish-American writer. I have read all the books by Frank and Malachy McCourt,Roddy Doyle,Brendan O'Carroll,Brendan Behan and numerous other Irish and Irish-American writers; and enjoy them immensely.
I found this book a real gem for many reasons.The author was born the same year as I was. Even though he grew up in Brooklyn in the 40's and 50's and I grew up in a small town of about 5,000 in Nova Scotia ,life was very similar.All the things he talked about were familiar to me. Warships in the harbor,Servicemen everywhere,Rationing and shortages (I never saw a banana till I was 10 years old),Air Raid Wardens,etc. I sympathized when he told of giving his skates for the war effort.I can remember Aluminium drives at the school,where there was an effigy of Hitler hanging from a pole and the kids were to bring aluminium stuff to throw at it. Was my mother ever mad when she found out what happened to some of her pots and pans. Peter brought back the many memories of the comics,Comic Books,Big Little Books and all the heroes .I followed all the same ones too. And then the movie theatres,especially on Saturdays. The one big difference was that there were no bars in my town,The arena and the Pool Room was where the young guys "came of age",,or could get anything they were not supposed to have. My town had an Army base nearby.When soldiers were off duty they had to get beer or wine from the Bootlegger (no Bars ,and Liquor Stores closed at 5 p.m.).There was a big orchard back of my house,and that was where they did their drinking. Since the bootlegger did not deal in returns,the empties were given to us kids and kept us in spending money.I still remember going to the junk dealer with my wagon piled high with bottles ;2 cents for quarts and 1 cent for pints.Man,we thought we were rich! So much for being a kid during the war!
Then Peter takes us along with him as his interests develop,how he wanted to be a catoonist,writer etc.He tells us about all his exploits in finding his way through life and impact that drinking had on him. In the end,he finally quits drinking; but if you expect this book to deal with great problems in drinking,extreme difficulties in quitting etc.,you're going to be disappointed. Quite to the contrary,drinking was a real part of his daily existance and the solution to many of his hard times and also very much part of his good times.
Virtually everything and everyone mentioned will be familiar to anyone who was born in and grew up at the same time.
As with other Irish writers ,their use of language is wonderful. It is filled with expressions and great lines.Here are a few;
"Never marry a woman you can't knock out with one punch."
"an Artist must pay a price in loneliness."
"most people go through their lives without ever doing one whole thing
they really want to do."
"No matter how fine a school you are in,you have to educate yourself."
"You could be there for life. That's what I'm afraid of."
"All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you:the good and the bad,the estacy,the remorse and sorrow,the people and the places and how the weather was." (this is one of those kind of books)
Now that I've read this book and ejoyed it so much;I'll be reading more of his books.Just remember;
YOU ARE THE SAME TODAY,
THAT YOU WILL BE FIVE YEARS FROM NOW,
EXCEPT FOR TWO THINGS;
THE PEOPLE YOU MEET,
AND
THE BOOKS YOU READ.
Irish American Bio.......2006-12-01
Much of the book focuses on the gritty details of Hamill's poverty stricken childhood in Brooklyn and his coming of age. His Irish-American boyhood in the 40s and 50s gives him mixed goals so he rebels, yet follows in the footsteps of his drunken father, while trying to be the "good boy" for his mother.
Seeking to escape the never-ending drudgery of the factories, he turns to reading and drawing. He muddles about, exploring sex/art/bohemian life/ travel, while drinking gradually saturates his whole life.
He takes full responsibility for his failed marriage. Touches on his relationship with Shirley Maclaine. Mentions names in literary circles. This part of the book skips rather lightly through to his repudiation of drinking.
The meat of the book lies in his earlier years. At times it brings to mind Angela's Ashes. An insightful look into Irish-American city life during WWII and the Korean War era.
There's a sadness to this account of seeking a way out of poverty while trying to define himself and deal with the conflicting expections of others.

Book Description
Teenage Wasteland provides memorable portraits of "rock and roll kids" and shrewd analyses of their interests in heavy metal music and Satanism. A powerful indictment of the often manipulative media coverage of youth crises and so-called alternative programs designed to help "troubled" teens, Teenage Wasteland draws new conclusions and presents solid reasons to admire the resilience of suburbia's dead end kids.
"A powerful book."—Samuel G. Freedman, New York Times Book Review
"[Gaines] sheds light on a poorly understood world and raises compelling questions about what society might do to help this alienated group of young people."—Ann Grimes, Washington Post Book World
"There is no comparable study of teenage suburban culture . . . and very few ethnographic inquiries written with anything like Gaines's native gusto or her luminous eye for detail."—Andrew Ross, Transition
"An outstanding case study. . . . Gaines shows how teens engage in cultural production and how such social agency is affected by economic transformations and institutional interventions."—Richard Lachman, Contemporary Sociology
"The best book on contemporary youth culture."—Rolling Stone
Customer Reviews:
Great research and a well-written book.......2007-01-13
The author's investigation into the cause of the teenage suicide pact that led to the deaths of the so-called "Bergenfield Four" subsequently revealed much about the suburban culture that spawned the tragedy.
Holds up, still relevant and still touches a nerve.......2005-11-16
I recently reread this book and was pleased, yet unsurprised to, see how well it's held up. The books easily stands on it's own merits, however I have been compelled to write a review after reading some of the bilge that others have written. Mostly along the lines of "I knew these kids or I'm from Jersey and she shouldn't have written that book", and other unintelligent nonsense and blindfolded provincial tripe. Comparing Dr. Gaines to the Taliban is about as clever as someone comparing homosexuals with the devil. If someone is that stupid as to make that comparison, they're in over their empty head just reading the word sociology, much less a book on the subject.
I read this book not long after it's release. I considered myself a graduate of a similar 'teenage wasteland' on long island, and approached the subject matter with the critical eye of someone with years of experience of suburban malaise, suicidal cohorts and punk and metal soundtracks. After completing the book I was genuinely moved not only by her obvious empathetic treatment of the subject matter, but for her logical conclusions pertaining the conditions that made the events in the book not only understandable, but also unavoidable. She never judged the subjects of the book, and thus gained their confidence. Her personal connection to the events she was writing allowed her a keen insight into the situation she describes without sacrificing clinical, reasoned objectivity.
Not long after reading this book for the first time, I wrote to the author, thanking her for her efforts regarding a subject that I knew well. Instead of receiving a corporate form letter reply or a brush off, I received a personal response from the author and an invitation to discuss the book in person. The author, completely without pretension or hidden agendas, spent time with myself and my friends discussing the ubiquitous dementations, absurdities, and the poignancy of suburbia. She did so without asking anything of us, and we were not exploited or maltreated, nor were the subjects of this book.
The fact that she took the time to give equal time to suburban dirtbags for no other reason than we liked her book... and knew where she was from... speaks volumes of not only her character, but her integrity as well. I highly doubt that the same could be said of the books' critics.
What a disgrace.......2004-08-08
Gaines should be put in the same category as Taliban. I grew up in Bergenfield, did lines with the Buress sisters', Olton, and Rizzo at Garvey's house. Yes, alot of children back then did waste time just as I did. But don't think that Gaines few moments in Bergenfield could sum it all up. Gaines knew nothing but to be a glory stealer for a book that was going to happen anyway. How about the other suicides, Like Paul Murphy and Chris Hurt. You should have done your math Gaines. Cooper's Pond had finger digits from snapping turtles that were restless. Gaines had nothing in mind but selfishness intentions. I'd like to meet Gaines and do a reminder. A product of the Teenage Wasteland she has described makes me think..I got a B.S of Science in M.E. a few years ago and I've been serving in the military as well. Ms. Gaines should remember me if we ever cross paths. Bergenfield was a town at that time that was showing the future. Ms. Gaines didn't see that, she just wrote a book....Words, they are so easy
Self-important rubbish.......2003-10-21
Gaines spent a month in Bergenfield and tried to turn others' pain into her gain. The book reads like her website: Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! She should be ashamed of herself.
I went to BHS and I hate this book!.......2003-07-29
I don't get it, did the author go to BHS? From the way this book is written, one gets the feeling that author can "feel the pain" of the teens of that time because she lived it. She didn't.
I did.
The author implies that this kind of stuff happens all the time with these burn outs in the ugly town of Bergenfield, what can you expect?
It ripped our town apart, and brought us together.
Book Description
In the critically acclaimed Five Men Who Broke My Heart, Manhattan journalist Susan Shapiro revisited five self-destructive romances. In her hilarious, illuminating new memoir, Lighting Up, she rejects five self-destructive substances. This difficult quest for clean living starts with Shapiro’s shocking revelation that, at forty, her lengthiest, most emotionally satisfying relationship has been with cigarettes.
A two-pack-a-day smoker since the age of thirteen, Susan Shapiro quickly discovers that it’s impossible to be a writer, a nonsmoker, sane, and slender in the same year. The last time she tried to quit, she gained twenty-three pounds, couldn’t concentrate on work, and wanted to kill herself and her husband, Aaron, a TV comedy writer who hates her penchant for puffing away. Yet just as she’s about to choose her vice over her marriage vows, she stumbles upon a secret weapon.
Dr. Winters, “the James Bond of psychotherapy,” is a brilliant but unorthodox addiction specialist, a
former chain-smoker himself. Working his weird magic on her psyche, he unravels the roots of her twenty-seven-year compulsion, the same dangerous dependency that has haunted her doctor father, her grandfather, and a pair of eccentric aunts from opposite sides of the family, along with Freud and nearly one in four Americans. Dr. Winters teaches her how to embrace suffering, then proclaims that her months of panic, depression, insecurity, vulnerability, and wild mood swings win her the award for “the worst nicotine withdrawal in the history of the world.”
Shapiro finally does kick the habit–while losing weight and finding career and connubial bliss–only to discover that the second she’s let go of her long-term crutch, she’s already replaced it with another fixation. After banishing cigarettes, alcohol, dope, gum, and bread from her day-to-day existence, she conquers all her demons and survives deprivation overload. But relying religiously on Dr. Winters, she soon realizes that the only obsession she has left
to quit is him. . . .
Never has the battle to stem substance abuse been captured with such wit, sophisticated insight, and candor. Lighting Up is so compulsively readable, it’s addictive.
Customer Reviews:
Honest, funny, Couldn't Put it Down!.......2007-01-22
I loved Susan Shapiro's book "Five Men Who Broke My Heart" and couldn't wait to pick this one. It didn't disappoint. She has a fresh, open, honest, and funny as hell voice that makes it less like reading a book and more like reading a good friend's journal. She's open about all her flaws and she just has a way of setting the scene that makes you feel like you were there in the room with her. I just started her latest book SECRETS OF A FIX-UP FANATIC and it's also fantastic. This is one of those books that once you start it, you can't put it down.
Enjoyed the hell out of this book.......2007-01-20
I'm almost completely burnt out on memoirs. I have finally outgrown "chick lit" novels about protagonists turning 30. And didn't want to read some dry take on addiction. But I wasn't quite ready for a "serious" novel. Ergo, "Lighting Up" really hit the spot. I doubt the veracity of some of it, there are a few parts where she kind of contradicts herself, as if there were two different versions of the story and it didn't all get smoothed out during the editing.
But it comes down to this: I couldn't put it down, I laughed and I CARED and that says a lot.
p.s. folks who have problems with the fact that Shapiro is self-absorbed might want to avoid books where people fully admit there problem is not earth-shattering in the grand scheme of things.
car wreck.......2007-01-03
Shapiro is a late comer to the genre of the self-help, diaristic memoir. Nonetheless she has not learned anything from those who have written in this territory before her. The book is an extended magazine article, as if putting her text in quotations as conversation makes it a novel. But it is so filled with self absorbed congratulatory writing that it becomes somewhat perverse in its hold over the reader--like the magnetic attraction of a car wreck. In the book Shapiro is an attractive (?) forty-two year old woman who has sex with her husband (which is apparently a big deal for her. I predict her husband will dump her for another woman before she is fifty), becomes smarter than her therapist, and becomes a successful writer with a perfect extended family. Except no children because she was too busy obsessing about herself during child bearing years. Who has empathy for this protaganist? With her luck I expect to see this book as a made-for-TV movie very soon. Hallmark channel.
Fabulous!.......2006-08-29
This book is funny as hell and hard to put down - can emphasis with someone who writes about her struggles with giving up smoking and drinking while living "in the center of Manhattan, where I could get any substance I wanted delivered within twenty minutes"...
Wonderful!.......2006-08-29
I am a psychologist who specializes (and has coped) with addiction. This book is a must read! Page for page, Susan Shapiro is a great writer.

Book Description
American political culture and military necessity were at odds during the War for American Independence, as demonstrated in this interpretation of Continental army administration. E. Wayne Carp shows that at every level of authority—congressional, state, and county—a localistic world-view, a deferential political order, and adherence to republican ideology impeded the task of supplying the army, even though independence demanded military strength.
Placing military history within the context of colonial and revolutionary historiography, Carp finds that the colonial American belief that authority and political power should be decentralized deeply influenced Congress's approach to the task of supplying the army. Furthermore, most Congressmen had neither military experience nor any idea of how to administer an army, while local governments constantly thwarted the army's efforts to obtain supplies—they blocked impressment and interfered with the movement of food and clothing.
Carp shows that political leaders eventually adjusted their ideals to the imperatives of winning the war. He offers a revisionist analysis of the origins of the Nationalist movement of 1780-83 that was begun by army officers and state legislators fearing the imminent failure of the Revolution. Lacking unity and blinded by republican ideology, the Nationalists did not markedly improve the administration of the army. Instead, it was largely through the efforts of Superintendent of Finance Robert Morris, the cooperation of the French, and sheer luck that the British were ultimately defeated. Carp concludes that the Americans won the Revolution "in spite of, rather than because of, their political beliefs."
Customer Reviews:
Not for the Casual Reader.......2004-01-28
When deciding whether or not to read this book the reader must pay particular attention to the subtitle of the work: "Continental Army Administration and American Political Culture; 1775-1783." Mr. Carp takes the "starving" for granted; assuming the reader is aware of the bad winter encampments at Valley Forge and Morristown, for example, and instead probes the reasons why the Continental Army was always hungry. In a nutshell; the Continental Army eventually prevailed in the war in spite of the ideals of the revolutionaries, rather than because of them. The author catalogs the various shortcomings of the Confederation period, and demonstrates how these shortcomings generally derived from the impetus for independence itself. For instance, the general mistrust of remote authority (embodied in the Crown and Parliament) and resulting localism prevalent among colonists, translated into caution and sometimes outright hostility in the relationship between the states and Congress. Congress too, unable to rid itself of the fetters of ideology, chose to attribute failure in the commissary department to graft and corruption among staff officers, rather than to a flawed system in which it periodically meddled; intent upon improvement but generally resulting for the worse. Everything came to a boil in the catastrophic year of 1780, and from out of the cauldron of defeat and financial collapse arose, not surprisingly from current and former army officers who had borne the brunt of a system designed to be ineffectual, the Federalist movement.
The book does what it sets out to do and is something of a tour de force. It is scholarly, well footnoted and methodical.
