Frying Pork Chops Naked: Another Pocketful of Funny Life Stories
Eric Litsky brings us on a funny, rollicking, heartfelt trip down memory lane, from coming of age adventures, to growing up and still being the free-spirited and roguish adult that keeps the neighborhood on its toes.
And then there was the time I nearly burnt down my house. I didn’t mean to. I blame it on the poor science education I received at PS 176.
One afternoon I watched the movie “Young Tom Edison” on channel 9’s “Million Dollar Movie.” I thought it would be a great idea to invent something that would change the world.
If I could harness the energy of lightning my parents would never have to pay another electric bill. And I would get first prize at the school science fair. It sounded so simple. Time to experiment.
By all counts, you could say Eric Litsky had a pretty standard freewheeling childhood. In short, growing up in the 1950’s and 60’s in Queens, there was little supervision and a whole lot of mischief kids could get into.
What makes Litsky’s reminiscing unique is the view he brings to the stories. Mostly irreverent and fun loving, with completely unexpected pulls at the heartstrings, Litsky takes the reader along for the trip down memory lane, all while integrating poignant little insights into universal truths and lessons that are so uniquely human.
A delightful read for book lovers of all walks of life, you’ll laugh out loud, shake your head, and maybe reach for a tissue once or twice. Get ready for a very fun ride.
Frying Pork Chops Naked is the follow up to Eric Litsky’s first book, Harry Would Be So Proud.

Looking back in time.
This book contains plenty of stories of a young man growing up during the 50s. I was born in 60s, so a lot of his adventures had a similar feel. Enjoyed the nostalgia.
