"Meatball Sangwich: Drive Fast and Talk Back to the Cops" is set in the largely Italian Northeast section of Kansas City, Mo. in the '50s' and '60's. Two brothers play juvenile pranks, sandlot baseball and navigate their way trough and around puberty, city alleyways, surly cops and the mafia. The book is a collection of often humorous stories of their misadventures and hi-jinks. Lacking today's comforts and diversions, they had to rely on their imaginations for entertainment. This book provides a funny, nostalgic, sometimes poignant look at a way of life long gone from the American landscape. This is Mr. Roberts second book.
