Wellness Wave Radio LLC with Phil George: Boy in the Closet

THE BOY IN THE CLOSET

How I Stole a Million Dollars’ Worth of Art & Survived Priests, a Hitman, Stockholm Syndrome & AIDS Description: Dive into the harrowing yet inspiring life of Nick Zwirblia in his memoir, The Boy in the Closet.

From being drugged and raped by an art teacher to surviving molestation by two priests in his early childhood, Nick’s story is one of resilience and defiance. Determined to turn his traumatic experiences into something profitable, he embarked on a journey of art theft, amassing over a million dollars’ worth of antiques and art before he turned thirty. Nick’s memoir is not just a tale of crime but a profound exploration of his life as a gay man in the 1970s. Growing up partly in public housing, he vowed to surround himself with the finer things in life, a promise he kept despite the odds. By the age of thirty-three, Nick found himself back in Worcester, in public housing, where he had sworn never to return. The Boy in the Closet is a compelling narrative that sheds light on the complexities of survival, identity, and redemption. It’s a story that will move you, challenge you, and ultimately inspire you.
