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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoe Queenan is the author of seven books and a regular contributor to \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBarron's\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Los Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e, a columnist for \u003ci\u003eChief Executive\u003c\/i\u003e, and writes about movies and music for Great Britain's \u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e.
