SUMMARY:Book Club: The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson
DESCRIPTION:The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson (Biography\, 2007\, 207p.)\n\nBill Bryson was born in the middle of the American century--1951--in the middle of the United States--Des Moines\, Iowa--in the middle of the largest generation in American history--the baby boomers. As one of the funniest writers alive\, he is perfectly positioned to mine his all-American childhood for memoir gold. Like millions of his generational peers\, Bill Bryson grew up with a rich fantasy life as a superhero. In his case\, he ran around his house and neighborhood wearing a jersey with a thunderbolt on it and a towel about his neck\, vanquishing evildoers--in his head--as "The Thunderbolt Kid." Using his fantasy-life persona as a springboard\, Bryson re-creates the life of his family in the 1950s in all its transcendent normality--a life at once familiar to us all and as far away and unreachable as another galaxy.--From Publisher Description
