Event Details

Join the Through Their Eyes Book Club in reading The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson, a hilarious memoir of growing up in the 1950s in Des Moines, Iowa.

Bryson grew up with a rich fantasy life as a superhero. He ran around his house and neighborhood wearing an old football jersey with a thunderbolt on it and a towel around his neck that served as his cape, as "The Thunderbolt Kid." Using this persona as a springboard, Bryson re-creates the life of his family and his native city in the 1950s in all its transcendent normality. (Amazon)
