Easter Rising
By Courtney Cox
Easter Rising by Michael Patrick MacDonald (Houghton Mifflin, 240 pages, $24)
It’s 1979, and as the Boston punk scene explodes in abandoned warehouses, 13-year-old MacDonald is seeking refuge from the streets of Southie, where he lost four of his nine siblings to violence. In this follow-up to his bestselling memoir All Souls, MacDonald explains how he reconciled a punk image with his Irish roots, illuminating the colorful world of his adolescence with a nostalgia that makes you want to go buy a Sex Pistols album.
Originally published in Boston magazine, September 2006
