When Skateboards Will Be Free--#9 finished

This is a memoir by Said Sayrafiezadeh, he has a Jewish American mom and an Iranian father but both were socialists if not communists.  His dad left him at around 4 I think and so did his older brother & sister--they went to stay with the dad.  Said was left with his mother and they lived in poverty in the 1970s.  Eventually they moved to Pittsburgh and while in junior high the Iran hostage crisis happened.  His dad was then in Iran and his mother was supporting Iran in their overthrow of the Shah and the imperialist powers--US included.  He voiced this opinion at school and basically lost his friends.  The book is written between talking about growing up and what he was doing at time he was writing book.  Sounds like still a lot of socialist ideas are supported but also doesn't sound all that political either.  His life was/is a struggle but sounds like has gotten better, by end of book is dating and planning future with his girlfriend.  Just can see in pages where the ideas pushed on him made his life very difficult.

There are no copies on PBS but this copy isn't stained by is does have yellow spots on majority of pages.  I got it from PBS but worry about posting & someone not accepting it.  Not sure if will post or not yet.
