    About this ebook

    A story of a young nonconformist growing up in America’s second planned housing community, Levittown portrays life in the late 1970s with a sardonic eye trained on the country’s time-honored traditions and questionable preoccupations. Set against a backdrop of classic rock, NASCAR and elementary school life, Levittown is the tale of a young boy named Michael trying to find himself amid a swirling tide of scripted patriotism and false hopes.

    “Poignant and provocative, Levittown pulls no punches as it unpacks familial dysfunction and skewers the American suburban dream through adolescent eyes. Though rooted in ’70s malaise, it still offers hope for a better tomorrow, provided one goes their own way instead of following the herd.” — Martin Penn-Woods

    Manheim Wagner

    Manheim Wagner has spent the majority of his life in fear of having a full-time, nine-to-five job. Originally from Levittown, Pennsylvania, he worked a steady stream of dead-end jobs before taking his first leap into the unknown in 1997, when he ended up teaching English in South Korea and nurturing his desire for exploration. Since then, he has lived in such countries as Australia, Scotland, Vietnam and Japan. He currently resides in Málaga, Spain.

      On The Record

      Apr 21, 2020

      For many of those who were into music from the 1950s through to the late ’80s, the album cover was an important physical social totem. This 12-inch square cardboard sleeve became a symbol that identified you with a genre of music, a style and the att

      Jeff Flake's 'Conservative Conscience'

      Aug 9, 2017

      The book pulls no punches. It sharply condemns conservatism for its role in a "culture of vicious dehumanization," not to mention its sins of incoherence, rejection of empirical fact and plain hypocrisy. Writing of the rush by the conservative party,
