"'The Shining' . . . but funnier."
That's how the author describes his memoir "Thirty Rooms To Hide In: Insanity, Addiction, and Rock 'n' Roll in the Shadow of the Mayo Clinic."
It's the story of six boys growing up in a great dark house in Minnesota, as the father -- a respected surgeon -- goes slowly insane. With winters raging outside and the father raging within, it is their mother's protection that allows the boys to have a wildly fun, thoroughly dysfunctional time growing up. With dark humor as the coin of their realm, and the Beatles as true north on their compass of Cool, the band of brothers make movies, start a rock & roll group, and wise-crack their way though a grim landscape of Eisenhower's Cold War, fallout shelters, JFK's assassination, and their father's insanity.
