Description

NAMED ONE OF KIRKUS' BEST BOOKS OF 2023!

Camp Pock-a-Wocknee & the DYN-O-MITE Summer of '77 is a coming-of-age graphic novel celebrating the traditions, friendships, and idiocy that make up summers at Jewish sleepaway camp.

Combining the nostalgic mood of The Wonder Years, the raucousness of Superbad, and the adolescent angst of Pen15, this 300-page graphic novel juxtaposes classic, black and white, comic strip art with stories that capture the tension created when the innocence of childhood crashes into the messiness of adolescence.

About the Author

Eric Glickman is part of his family's three generations that all went to the same Jewish sleepaway camp. Following in his parents' footsteps, Eric spent 10 summers there as a camper, waiter, and counselor. Later, his three children also went there for many summers.

Eric spent 36 years as an advertising creative and helped convince millions of people to eat soup in a can packed with meat & veggies, wiggly-jiggly, gelatinous, fruit-flavored desserts, poultry that is seasoned, fried then served in a bucket, and cheesy crackers shaped like fish. He is currently getting his master's at NYU in Art Education + Community Practice.

Eric is married to his college sweetheart, Melissa, who he met at Syracuse University. Together, they have three children who are now adults.

Reviews

"An endearing, gleefully raunchy coming-of-age tale." - Kirkus

Glickman's first graphic novel, Camp Pock-A-Wocknee and the Dyn-O-Mite Summer of '77, inspired by his bug juice-splattered youth, will hit a rich vein of nostalgia for many who miss the halcyon days of color wars and canteen
