Sanchez 5 Inbound: Collection Number 2

By Jorge Sánchez

Growing up in the Wilson Projects of Spanish Harlem, Jorge Sanchez and his brothers turned every day into an adventure-and sometimes, a near disaster. From homemade "ghetto bazookas" fired from the 13th floor to the thunderous rhythms of church drums in Jesus Rocks the Bodega, these heartfelt and hilarious stories capture the chaos, innocence, and wonder of childhood before smartphones and social media.

In Sanchez 5 Inbound: Collection Number 2, Sanchez continues his nostalgic storytelling with humor and heart, revisiting the mischief, family bonds, and hard-learned lessons that shaped his youth. Whether he's describing 4th of July fireworks gone wrong, the absurdities of growing up Pentecostal, or Christmas in the projects, Sanchez's voice is raw, honest, and deeply relatable.

Perfect for readers who love memoirs like The Last Black Unicorn, The Tender Bar, or Born a Crime, this collection blends laugh-out-loud moments with tender reflections on faith, family, and finding joy amid struggle.

Come for the laughs. Stay for the heart. Leave remembering your own wild youth.

Jorge Sanchez delivers another punchy, laugh-out-loud collection that feels like swapping wild stories with an old friend. From bizarre holiday mishaps to the gritty charm of CBGB's, these tales mix humor with a touch of nostalgia. The writing is fast, witty, and unapologetically real, though some stories fly by so quickly you wish they lingered a little longer. If you need a break from life's chaos, this is the perfect escape-funny, chaotic, and full of personality.
