Book Review

Gulesserian has put together an interesting series of essays through which readers are invited to take a look at the changes that have occurred in North America since the 1960s from his personal perspective. He adopts a confident, engaging tone which does well in setting a story-telling tone, making his essays particularly easy to follow and appreciate. I did find that at times the tone bordered on arrogant; this occurred when Gulesserian would share personal opinions as foundational truths for all to accept.

While Newspaper Boys Always Deliver seems at first to be a random collection of essays, links start emerging as you make your way through its various chapters. It almost felt at times that readers are growing up alongside Gulesserian; as children, we see things in silos, almost disjointed one from the other; then, as preteens, we start seeing relationships, perhaps at the most basic level, between things we never would have thought are related; as teenagers, our ability to see these relationships and their intricacies more clearly creates chaos in our minds from which gradually emerges clarity during adulthood—well, at least one would hope. This is what happens when reading this book. The essays are in silos at the beginning, almost disjointed one from the other; we go through a similar process of growth at the end of which we can see much more clearly what Gulesserian had in mind from the beginning.

Of course what he had in mind from the beginning is, like with any book, subject to a lot of interpretation. If you are looking for answers then this is not the book for you. But if you are looking for the opinions of an eloquent friend, then Newspaper Boys Always Deliver just might rock your boat.
