Bipolar Buffalo

In a powerful literary style, the struggles and adventures of a second-generation, working-class youth, growing up Polish and bipolar in the Buffalo, New York region during the mid-twentieth century are dramatically revealed. Told with passion, humor, and hope, the book is a search for self and an authentic meaning to life. Other cities--including New Orleans, Las Vegas, and Denver--as well as numerous historic events and nationally known figures like comedians Steve Allen, Dick Shawn, and Bill Cosby are mosaics in the journey. Bipolar Buffalo - A Mosaic of Minds Journey features 52 non-fictional mosaics (stories) and is complemented by poignant epigrams from eminent authors, photographs, and original works of art.
