Book trailer:
Nawrocki's book is a remarkable coming of age and political awakening semi-fictionalized story set in the lively 1960s and 1970s of Vancouver’s gritty East End (a.k.a. East Van), his birthplace, long before it was gentrified.
Born and raised in the East End but now residing in Montreal, Nawrocki is an internationally renowned violinist, actor and playwright, the author of eighteen books (poetry, novels, novellas, non-fiction), with over seventy albums and dozens of theatrical productions to his credit.
The Montreal Gazette calls him “a legend . . . one of the most fascinating folks on the cityscape." The Globe & Mail says he's “a born showman;” his shows “subversively powerful."
