Summary of Jeremy Denk's Every Good Boy Does Fine

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 My father was a monk. He loved to tell stories about his decade with the church, and how he couldn’t stand the fried chicken at the monastery. I always found the monastery intriguing, because I thought it was somewhere you went for kicks.

#2 My father’s memoir describes a family split between prudent Prairie Home Companion types on one side and wild gumbo wastrels on the other. His father, Orville, came from New Orleans and was fired from a department store for theft.

#3 My mother, adrift with three kids, married a police officer named Fran. They had acquired a car, fixed up a bathroom, and produced three kids. My strongest memories are TV-related: watching All My Children and The Price Is Right in the mornings while my mother drank a mysterious clear glass of brown liquid.

#4 My parents moved to Englishtown, a bedroom community not far from Manhattan, in 1975. I remember being immersed in the bottom shelf with all the records. I worked my way through the One Hundred Greatest Hits.
