The Pulitzer Prize-winning author "an immensely gifted writer and a magical prose stylist" (Michiko Kakutani, New York Times)offers his first major work of nonfiction, an autobiographical narrative as inventive, beautiful, and powerful as his acclaimed, award-winning fiction.
A memoir of culture and history of fathers and daughters, of two world wars and the passionate rebellions of the sixties. It is also about the mythology of place and the evolution of a sensibility: and about how literature can shape and even anticipate a life.
