Harry's Our Man by Jay O'Callahan


Price: $22.95
Item Number: PC 3111
A political love story set in Boston in 1950. When Harry Hutchinson decides to run for Congress it's the wildest, most absurd, funniest, saddest, most bizarre journey of his life.

This books is Jay O'Callahan at his deepest and hist best. The characters he has immortalized in telling his Pill Hill stories have here their full voices, and what O'Callahan does with them amounts to a fugue - a symphony - or even more remarkable, a neighborhood. Harry truly is our man -- our guide into what it means to be intensely alive in a real and imperfect human community."  Pat Schneider, Author, Writing Alone and with Others, Oxford University Press, 2003.

Acclaimed storyteller Jay O'Callahan has performed his stories on National Public Radio, throughout the United States, Europe, Canada, Africa and New Zealand and in theatres around the country. He has been commissioned to write stories by organizations as diverse as the Boston Symphony Orchestra and NASA. Jay has published his stories in books and has over twenty CD titles.
