The Short Stories of Philadelphia Joe
()
About this ebook
This new collection of short stories by Joe MacDougall brings the underside of Philadelphia to life through rich and raunchy dialogue and creates a canvas full of characters that become three dimensional and excites all of the senses. Each story is a different take on what it means to be a Philadelphian: tough, with that in-your-face attitude served up with a cheese steak and beer. MacDougall carries us into the seamy side and has us swim in the slime without guilt or remorse. We are voyeurs witnessing their lives and are happy to vicariously succumb to our dark side for just a little while. We all know these people, and MacDougall leads us to the realization that they have always been around, and always will be.
Joseph MacDougall
Joseph was born in 1933 in Philadelphia, PA. His family had strong ties to Shamokin in the coal region of Pennsylvania where he spent much time as a boy. It is from here and the bars and streets of Philadelphia where many of his writings draw their inspiration. He spent most of his career in engineering but graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1966 with a degree in English literature, his true passion. The father of three children, he is now retired and lives with his wife of 57 years, Barbara Joyce, in South Carolina, near his daughter and family where he spends his time writing.
