Author Anthony DeNicola Publishes His Gripping Autobiography, “Growing Up Brooklyn Style”

Atlanta, GA; February 6, 2007 — Anthony DeNicola, a Brooklyn, NY native author has completed his first book, "Growing Up Brooklyn Style." The autobiography has been published by Outskirts Press and is now available through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and elsewhere.

The Anthony DeNicola novel richly details the author’s experience growing up in the hardscrabble neighborhoods of New York City’s most populated borough, Brooklyn. His writing spans the life of a young boy who lost his mother and the things that he had to do to survive under the abusive authority of his alcoholic father, win over the neighborhood bullies, and his later involvement as a young adult with organized crime which nearly ruined him and almost destroyed his own family.

"Growing Up Brooklyn Style" takes an unquestionably provocative look at a street-wise Italian-American punk who discovers that a world much larger than Brooklyn was beckoning to him and the massive action that he took to put his troubled past behind him.

As one critic said about the book, "Growing Up Brooklyn Style will have you laughing, crying, and thoroughly captivated from cover to cover. Tony’s real life trials and tribulations will make you wonder how anyone could survive under such intense pressure without cracking and how difficult it must have been for him to follow through with his decision to finally leave Brooklyn. You cannot help but sense that his story was written as if he wove together themes from "The Sopranos" and "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" to create what I consider to be a masterpiece."
