Mike Breslin Pass the Pierogies

 

 

PASS THE PIEROGIES

A whimsical look at growing up in the Anthracite Coal Region: flattop haircuts, football fanaticism, block parties, balsa wood models, bleenies, beer... and much, much, more.

Pierogies, block parties, beer and bleenies.They're all simply part of growing up in the coal region, according to a Mount Carmel native and first-time author Mike Breslin. Mike has published "Pass the Pierogies", a tongue-in-cheek commentary in which he takes lighthearted yet stinging swats at coal region football, the education system, attending a Catholic school and other aspects of coal region life. He hopes his book will allow people who grew up in the coal region to remember their hometown with fondness, and he hopes today's younger generation can get a full appreciation for where his crazy stories were cultivated.
