De Kline has the gift of loving the up-side of down events- this beautiful and roistering memoire of life on Lawless St is far from miserable - celebrating the iconography of kisses, inevitable head-kickings and the shady deals we all make with ourselves - yet perhaps with the more perceptive light of sunset on the fringe. Glorious turns of phrase, instant recognition, and stillness to take it back in, like a smoker's drawback -a wonderful read, not safe for work!
