| Description: |
Forty-two writers were brave and generous enough to send Paul Mandelbaum their childhood manuscripts, which he compiled in this book. Each of the chapters cludes a brief introduction to the author, the juvenilia with commentary by writer and editor linking the childhood and adult work, photographs of the author (then and now) and, in some cases, reproductions of the original manuscripts and drawings. It includes John Updike, Amy Tan, and Michael Crichton. |
