À propos de cet audio

Growing up isn't easy. But in this collection of stories by John Owens, childhood is a hilarious, insightful flashback packed with joyfully offbeat characters and you-can't-make-this-up experiences. At the same time, the audiobook explores the disturbing frailty of the American dream and how it can devastate families.

Author of the critically acclaimed best-seller Confessions of a Bad Teacher, John takes listeners to his own youth in suburban Long Island. With his quirky family and his own oddball fat-kid ADHD personality, it is a world of eating raw Duncan Hines cake mixes and begrudgingly collecting pennies for UNICEF, as well as watered-down soup, hand-me-down square-dancing boots, pocket-sized false teeth, and, yes, chickens. Lots and lots of chickens.

John's youthful turn at poultry farming, along with other peculiar exploits both in and out of the backyard, taught the author many valuable life lessons, with which listeners will readily identify.

Wrapped in all of these laugh-out-loud adventures are family tragedy and pain. In all, Chickens Are Not Pets is a brutally honest and soul-baring celebration of childhood. Not just John's, but the listener's, too.
