Nights in White Castle: A Memoir by Steve Rushin
4.0
Nights in White Castle, do do do do do do do...
Nights in White Castle is an entertaining, funny memoir by Steve Rushin, a writer for Sports Illustrated, that covers his escapades and successes through high school, college, and beyond.
The stories in this novel are entertaining in their own right, but to me this book was so much more. As a girl who was raised in Des Plaines (a suburb of Chicago) who read SI religiously, often traveled past the Bong Recreation Area (I finally know where the name came from!!!), wore Rebecca Lobo shoes while playing high school basketball, and who went to Billy Goats (no fries!), this novel not only told me stories of Steve Rushin’s life, they reminded me of all kinds of stories from my own. I really enjoyed this book, and often found myself laughing aloud.
