Five-Finger Discount: A Crooked Family History Paperback - 2002
by Helene Stapinski
With deadpan humor and obvious affection, Helene Stapinski recounts the story of her growing up in a family "as thoroughly corrupt as the Hudson County political machine that whirs behind the scenes" ("The Village Voice").
From the publisher
First line
The night my grandfather tried to kill us, I was five years old, the age I stopped believing in Santa Claus, started kindergarten, and made real rather than imaginary friends.
From the jacket flap
With deadpan humor and obvious affection, Five-Finger Discount recounts the story of an unforgettable New Jersey family of swindlers, bookies, embezzlers, and mobster-wannabes. In the memoir Mary Karr calls "a page-turner," Helene Stapinski ingeniously weaves the checkered history of her hometown of Jersey City--a place known for its political corruption and industrial blight--with the tales that have swirled around her relatives for decades. Navigating a childhood of toxic waste and tough love, Stapinski tells an extraordinary tale at once heartbreaking and hysterically funny.
