The Asthmatic Kid & Other Stories is a collection of narratives that chronicle the life of a young man trying to survive his childhood. These stories take place in the 60s and 70s and feature compelling characters that often have conflicting interests, get a few bumps and bruises, but discover what is truly important. Mark Tulin's quirky stories speak of freedom, love, and the joys of youthful mischief. "Crazy Grandpa," "Into the Blue Suburban Sky," "Dark Clouds Over Baseball" and others in this collection will make trauma seem not so scary and, in many cases, quite amusing.
