Mick has lots of appeal for local youth, especially white working class youth. The voice and scenarios are totally authentic and come directly from white working class culture in Boston neighborhoods, especially from South Boston and Dorchester. “Why don’t you just go an have your own pissy little yellow faggot-ass parades and leave us alone” (p.30). and “—he’s always sayin’ something when he’s slapping me, y’know, so it takes forever; I hate that (p.130). I speak with authority because I’ve lived here my whole life. In addition, the story incorporates lots of real events, (names changed to protect the innocent??) such as the influx of Vietnamese families into the neighborhoods and the attempts by gay groups to march in the St. Patrick’s Day parade. It has real local flavor, so much so that I wonder how popular they are outside the area. I really liked it. 10/06 ( )
