false 2190231 1 Sarfraz Manzoor was two years old when, in 1974, he emigrated from Pakistan to Britain with his mother, brother, and sister. Sarfraz spent his teenage years in a constant battle, trying to reconcile being both British and Muslim, trying to fit in at school and at home. But it was when his best friend introduced him to the music of Bruce Springsteen that his life changed completely. From the age of sixteen on, after the moment he heard the harmonica and opening lines to &#8220;The River,&#8221; Springsteen became his personal muse, a lens through which he was able to view the rest of his life. Both a tribute to Springsteen and a story of personal discovery, <i>Greetings from Bury Park</i> is a warm, irreverent, and exceptionally perceptive memoir about how music transcends religion and race. 2195950 8 4 2008 Greetings from Bury Park (Vintage Departures Original) total:44|5:8|4:18|3:11|2:6|1:1| 44 158 60 8 2190231 0307388026 9780307388025 44 8 3.59 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2190231.Greetings_from_Bury_Park 4 0 false Fri Oct 24 17:23:18 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 24 17:55:38 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2190231 0307388026 9780307388025 44 8 3.59 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2190231.Greetings_from_Bury_Park 4 0 false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 03 10:28:15 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 10:28:51 -0700 2009 2190231 0307388026 9780307388025 44 8 3.59 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2190231.Greetings_from_Bury_Park 3 0 false Fri Jul 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 29 04:08:21 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 03:48:35 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2190231 0307388026 9780307388025 44 8 3.59 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2190231.Greetings_from_Bury_Park 1 0 false Mon Jul 07 06:50:27 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 07 06:54:57 -0700 2008
