Ridgewood author holds signing
party at Onderdonk House
Local author Molly Grattan will
be at the Onderdonk House
in Ridgewood this Sunday,
March 11, signing copies of her book,
“Girl Gangs, Biker Boys, and Real
Cool Cats: Pulp Fiction and Youth
Culture, 1950 to 1980.”
Books will be available for purchase
at the event. You can stop by, meet the
author and have your copy signed.
“Girl Gangs, Biker Boys, and Real
Cool Cats” is the fi rst comprehensive account
of how the rise of postwar youth
culture was depicted in mass-market
pulp fi ction. With their lurid covers
and wild, action-packed plots, these
books reveal as much about society’s
deepest desires and fears as they do
about the subcultures themselves.
Grattan lives in Ridgewood
and teaches fi lm and journalism
to middle-school students in the
Greater Ridgewood Youth Council’s
aft er-school program in Glendale.
She’s also a volunteer with the
Greater Ridgewood Historical Society,
which operates the landmark
Onderdonk House.
The event takes place on March
11 from 2 to 4 p.m. For more information,
call 718-456-1776 or visit
onderdonkhouse.org.
