| Book Description | The eighties were a totally rad time when denim was acceptable on both top and bottom. Hair gel wasn't for neatness, but gravity defying style. Neon pink and blue were coupled together like vanilla ice cream and Ice Magic. The beige station wagon was the only vehicle for road trips and dingy motels were well rated. Eight-bit video games were new and thrilling, while movies were big and brave. McDonald's was part of the weekly diet and Pizza Hut reigned supreme. We loved it all, especially on Saturdays when chocolate crackles fuelled every Nintendo session and BMX adventure. Join JP Pelosi as he fires up the DeLorean to whiz us back to the nexus of contemporary pop culture - the 1980s. Madonna, Pac-Man, Knight Rider, Chicken McNuggets, the video store and the Sony Walkman. It's all here, brought back to life in this nostalgic memoir about childhood joys, family life and the thrill of a perfect Saturday afternoon riding skateboards and trading football cards. So, slip on your shutter shades, gang, pull up a Garfield-themed beanbag and let's relive the greatest decade ever! |
| About the Author | J.P. Pelosi grew up in Sydney, Australia, in the 1980s and so was naturally obsessed with Han Solo, Reebok sneakers, Skittles and Pepsi ads. Nothing much has changed. He still lives in Sydney, now with his own family and works as a managing editor. His writing has covered travel, sports, film, finance, and business and has appeared in leading publications such as The Guardian, The Atlantic, The Sunday Telegraph and The Sun Herald. His short story The Power of Parra's Fans was also selected for ABC Book's Unsung Sporting Heroes collection. |
