Groan Up: From Newark to Nebraska is a poetical memoir about family, neighborhood, lost childhood innocence, teenage angst, and the search for identity. Groan Up is not for everybody, but it is for anybody who wishes to take an odd journey filled with interesting characters, strange detours and black humor. The volume is divided into four books: the city (Newark, NJ), the suburbs (Maplewood, NJ), the campus (New Brunswick, NJ) and the country (Grand Island, Nebraska); each representing a different locale that the author lived through his early twenties.

Dave Marcus, Pulitzer Prize winning reporter and author (What it Takes to Pull Me Through: Why Teenagers Get in Trouble and How Four of Them Got Out - Houghton Mifflin) says of Groan Up Andrew Malekoff has a way of taking us on a long, dramatic journey with just a few words. Groan Up is especially remarkable because the carefully-chosen details ring so true a reader often gets a tingle, an Ive-been-there sense. What a pleasure to read an anti-memoir memoir a series of telling moments and scenes that resonate with our own lives even as they bring us out of our own lives."
