Description: "In Revere Beach Elegy, Roland Merullo returns to his childhood heaven of Revere, Massachusetts, to begin an intricate, impressionistic portrait of his rich and complex life. The tough codes of Revere's working-class streets mix with the warmth and affirmation of family - forty cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles - to form a background against which Merullo's later wanderings are always set."--BOOK JACKET.
