PLAIN BROWN
Just $9.99 ++ Sister Dressed Me Funny adventures close to the edge through humility and humor with these chronicles of catholic school nuns, Cub Scout contests, Grandma's house in the country, junior high school bus antics and more.Tales about, of all things, a naked statue and the catholic school tie, Italian American family roots and that dress his sister made him wear. Buccino's essays cut close to the edge of humor, humiliation and heartbreak chronicling education by the strictest nuns in the world at a school where the statues of saints were said to dance the Twist if you prayed real hard.A wistful reminiscence of life on the farm with chicken coops and too many cats in what is now at the very least suburbia; being the butt of the Cub Scout skit gone wrong in front of the entire pack, and, of course, that dress his sister made him wear.Essays recount childhood the 1950s and 1960s and later in Belleville and Nutley, N.J.
