Description



About the Book



Outrageously funny memoir of growing up in 1960's New York.



Book Synopsis



In this compelling memoir, John Skoyles guides us through 1960s New York. Caught between his uncle Fred, a mob associate and man-about-town, and his aunt Linda, a secretary at Paramount Pictures on Times Square, the sixteen-year-old finds himself exploring everything from the bars and swank apartments of Manhattan's Upper East Side to the flophouses and haunts of Forty-second Street. Secret Frequencies spins in graceful turns from deadpan hilarity to unflinching bleakness as Skoyles encounters New York's most comic, absurd, and sometimes dangerous seductions.



Review Quotes




"No one who reads this delightful, absorbing account of a teenage boy's summer of initiation will ever forget the brilliant characters or the remarkable city--New York in the sixties--which John Skoyles brings so eloquently to life."
