Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Sanders extends his personal horizons from recollections of his own midwestern childhood to encompass neighborhood, region and nature itsell An engaging sampling of intellect enlivened by imagination.
Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
From Library Journal
This collection of essays from a frequent contributor to Harper's , the New York Times , and the Georgia Review is wonderfully varied. Personal, thought-provoking, honest, and well written, the essays evoke vivid images, as in passages from the first essay on growing up with an alcoholic father in 1940s Ohio and Tennessee. Recognizing now, as the father of a ten-year-old son, the guilt and responsibility he felt over his father's drinking, he writes "to drag into the light what eats at me--the fear, the guilt, the shame, so that my own children may be spared." Although the first essay ("Under the Influence") is most poignant, the other essays live up to a high standard of writing, conveying Sanders's sense of social responsibility and concern for the quality of life in today's world. Recommended.
