In \u003ci\u003eClosing Time\u003c\/i\u003e, Queenan turns his sights on a more serious and a more personal topic: his childhood in a Philadelphia housing project in the early 1960s. By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, \u003ci\u003eClosing Time\u003c\/i\u003e recounts Queenan's Irish Catholic upbringing in a family dominated by his erratic, alcoholic father, and his long flight away from the dismal confines of his neighborhood into the greater, wide world. A story about salvation and escape, \u003ci\u003eClosing Time\u003c\/i\u003e has at its heart the makings of a classic American autobiography.","brand":"Penguin Adult Hc\/Tr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45408454410391,"sku":"9780143116684","price":2154.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780143116684.webp?v=1767309930","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/closing-time-9780143116684","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
