Grego Edwards is one busy writer. He’s a book and music reviewer, an essayist, and a writer. I am honored that he took the time to read, and review my memoir, Something’s Happening Here: A Sixties Odyssey from Brooklyn to Woodstock.

I am doubly pleased with Grego’s review: he gets what it’s about and he is recommending it to others.
Here are a couple of key quotes:
“Mark’s innate and pronounced ‘easy writer’ brilliance makes this read absorbing and moving.”
“The ecstasy of ‘60s lifestyle liberation can be felt between the lines and sometimes within the lines of the story.”
“He was paying attention and face it, not everybody understood like Mark obviously did.”
“Read this and appreciate some focused prose, do!”
For the full review, read on.
Thanks Grego, much appreciated.

My heartfelt thanks to Paul Grondahl and the NYS Writers Institute Team for putting together one fabulous event. And to those who clapped and laughed in appreciation, thanks for showing up. A deep bow to T.C. Boyle, for his generosity and genius.
