Description
In this deeply personal memoir in essays, a celebrated literary and baseball writer looks back on his childhood in Prohibition-era New York and the remarkable family that shaped him, including his mother, New Yorker editor Katharine White, and his stepfather, E. B. White. Moving between family history, literary life, friendships, cultural observations, and an enduring love of baseball, the book offers an intimate portrait of a writer’s formation and the world around him. With warmth, wit, and an unsentimental eye, these essays explore memory, affection, care, aging, and the sustaining power of paying close attention to ordinary life.
