From Parakeets to Pork Chops - Eric Litsky Shares His Humorous Life Stories

from Connecticut Book Festivals Podcast · host Jedlie

If you're looking for some heartwarming and hilarious stories to get you in the holiday spirit, you'll want to check out Eric Litsky's latest book, "Pickles and Mill House, Fly Again." Litsky joined host Jed Doherty on the show to chat about his passion for storytelling, the importance of preserving family history, and the funny mishaps that inspired his writing. As Jed and Eric discussed, the holidays are the perfect time to gather with loved ones and share stories - whether they're gut-busting tales of mishaps or poignant memories of family members who've passed on. Eric emphasized that writing down these stories is a precious gift we can leave for future generations. "The greatest gift we have is the stories of our lives," he said.  The stories in "Pickles and Mill House" are all based on Eric's real-life experiences, from the time he got locked out of his apartment in his underwear while trying to save his friend's pet parakeets, to the day a young Eric got lost in New York City and ended up being "babysat" by a kind Italian family in their grocery store. These relatable, humor-filled anecdotes are sure to have you laughing out loud. Eric also talked about his other books, like "Frying Pork Chops Naked," which features a similar collection of short, funny memoirs. And he shared the touching story behind the title of his book "Harry Would Be So Proud" - a nod to the elderly family friend who played a special role in his life. Whether you're looking to get into the holiday spirit or just enjoy some lighthearted storytelling, be sure to check out Eric Litsky's work. You can find his books on Amazon, Audible, and his website, EricLitsky.com. Happy reading (and laughing)!
