Main Line teacher/author Jim Zervanos charms with ‘American Gyro’

November 14, 2025 / By Caroline O'Halloran / /

Ask Bala Cynwyd’s Jim Zervanos if his latest book – a sweet, funny, coming-of-age novel about a Greek American growing up outside Philly – is autobiographical and you receive a resounding … not really.
