“This book is both witty and fierce. It’s a gift that keeps on giving, and we can only hope its nonagenarian author continues to do so as well.”
The first three paragraphs of the author’s note of David Plante’s new memoir, Worlds Apart come as something of a warning:
“I have become an adjective.”—Karl Rove
The Most Wanted Man in China is Fang Lizhi’s memoir, written in 1989 but not published until now, four years after his death.
"Selig has also given us a book that captures his love for the game. There is goodness here, a transforming goodness."
"Autobiography is unmistakably the work of the singer and lyricist of the still-beloved band The Smiths."
“I have always preferred to disguise my feelings from others.”—almost every character in almost every short story by Gerald Murnane.
