After two earlier autobiographical works--"Clear Pictures "and "A
Whole New Life"--acclaimed writer Reynolds Price offers a full
account of his life from the mid-1950s to the publication of his
first novel in 1962.
Oxford University and Britain--which had scarcely recovered from
the severe demands of World War II--were places of enormous
vitality for Price, both academic and personal. From spotting J. R.
R. Tolkien on the street in Oxford to intimate dinners with W. H.
Auden and Stephen Spender, young Price was welcomed into the
company of the most respected intellectual and artistic circles.
Fully entrenched in the culture of his era, Price unfailingly makes
clear the connections between his experience and the great
tradition of world literature.
In lucid and frequently witty prose, Price offers full access to
six years in the early adulthood of a rich life--"a gallery of
portraits and sexual discovery" ("The Weekly Standard ") and part
of the great train of human accomplishment in which Price so
ardently believed.
