1. Seminary Boy
"Seminary Boy" is a memoir that delves into the author's experiences as a young boy in the 1950s, who is sent to a Catholic seminary with the hope of becoming a priest. The narrative captures the strict and often harsh realities of seminary life, marked by rigorous discipline, religious fervor, and the struggle to conform to the expectations of the Church. As the author grows up within the confines of this institution, he grapples with his faith, the challenges of adolescence, and the dawning realization of the wider world beyond the seminary walls. This coming-of-age story is a poignant exploration of innocence, belief, and the search for personal identity amidst the backdrop of a changing religious landscape.
