Growing Up Greek in Chicago: The Ups and Down of an Ethnic Identity

In this nostalgic memoir, American author Alexander Rassogianis celebrates his Greek ethnicity and the joy of having two cultures from which to draw enrichment. The book is a collection of vignettes from Alexander's childhood that will entertain and amuse. From creating a nickname, Al, in elementary school (what could be more American than that?), ditching Greek school to play Ping-Pong at Columbus Park, and finding his mother's Greek pastry after she spent hours trying to hide it, Alexander shares what it was like Growing Up Greek in Chicago.
