John C. Hampsey Discusses Kaufman's Hill on Author2Author

Our client John C. Hampsey, a literature professor at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, joined Author2Author to discuss his memoir Kaufman's Hill.

The memoir revisits Hampsey's boyhood in Pittsburgh between 1961 and 1968, tracing a threshold moment just before the counterculture arrived, seen through a young narrator navigating neighborhood bullies, a distant father, and a Catholic upbringing he is only beginning to question. Historian Howard Zinn, after reading an early draft, called it the best book on American boyhood in decades, and it later drew additional praise from novelists Tim O'Brien and Ruth Ozeki, rare company for a debut memoir from a working academic.

Landing endorsements and interviews of this caliber for a memoir is exactly the reach our marketing services are meant to build. Listen to the full interview on BlogTalkRadio.
