Amelia Court House, VA Author Publishes Memoir Short Stories

"shorties", a new book by Louis S. Rupnick, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

In this reflective, light-hearted memoir, author Louis S. Rupnick chronicles his life's journey, beginning with his childhood on Long Island and ending with discovering his life's purpose, as well as teaching.

Long before his teaching career, however, a recently graduated, eighteen-year-old Lou takes off on a cross-country, Jack Kerouac-style road trip with his trusty canine pal, DOG, and his '56 Chevy, affectionately named Raunchy. As young Lou puts on more miles, he gathers more memories, wacky stories, and life lessons than ever imagined.

Now almost sixty years later, Lou takes stock of his most significant experiences, from the humorous to the poignant to the downright extraordinary.
