A day at the beach : recollections / Geoffrey Wolff. by Wolff, Geoffrey, 1937- author. New York : Vintage Books, 2013. Subjects Wolff, Geoffrey, 1937-   Authors, American -- 20th century -- Biography. ISBN:  9780804170093 (pbk.) 0804170096 (pbk.) Description:  xviii, 314 pages ; 21 cm Edition:  Second Vintage Books Edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  With these interwoven autobiographical essays, Geoffrey Wolff, author of the acclaimed The Duke of Deception, recounts the moral (and immoral) education of a writer, friend, husband, and father, as he offers his spirited, elegant, and deeply felt observations on an extraordinary life: from wildly dysfunctional childhood Christmases to a concupiscent career teaching literature in Istanbul; from a victory over the chaos of drink to a life-affirming surrender to the majesty of the Matterhorn; and from a foundering friendship to the transcending love of family. He shares with us, then, the wisdom of an alert man learning through the unsettling collisions of time, place, and local custom, and through the force of hardship and hazard, to bring his many disparate selves together -- with astonishing high-stakes candor and dazzling literary agility.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 813.54 Wolff Wo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
