THE YOYO YEARS (COMING SOON)
“In THE YOYO YEARS, Jeff Pohn wages a courageous battle with the past, slaying demons with humor and heart while steadily marching the bumpy road towards enlightenment. At the center of this vivid world with its host of memorable characters is the one and only Josh Peterskin who rivals Alexander Portnoy in the category of complaints while hijacking us on a wild, entertaining ride through his beloved Chicago.”
- Albert Berger
Producer, Little Miss Sunshine, Election
“Jeff Pohn continues to find shafts of sunlight in life’s darkest corners. The YoYo Years brims with his acute observational skills, compassion and humor.”
- Brian Levant
Director - Beethoven, The Flintstones
“The Yoyo Years tells the moving and surprisingly funny story of Josh Peterskin, AKA Yoyo, raised on Chicago’s Gold Coast but wishing he was black. A talented, basketball-playing, movie-obsessed, fast-living, hard-drinking wild man, who, no matter how much he’s achieved or how far he travels, can never shake the baleful legacy of his alcoholic father. Jeffrey Pohn’s latest novel is deeply personal, heartbreakingly true, and often hilarious - necessary in an era where so many of us can’t keep getting in our own way.”
