Sobre este item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1987. First Edition; First Printing. 1/4 Cloth. 0394542827 . First edition/first printing in Near Fine condition, slightly cocked, in Fine dust-jacket. From the collection of Betty Anderson, legendary art director of publisher Knopf in the late 20th century as evidenced by her (small and unobtrusive) inventory number; Jr.This autobiography of a privileged white American teenager from the 1960s to the early 1980s tells the story of Lawrence Wright's tumultuous journey from innocence to experience, from the bubble of privilege to the stormy world of political activism, from the security of the suburbs to the turmoil of the ghetto, from the conformity of school to the creativity of the street. Wright's frank and lively writing captures the excitement and the terror of growing up during a time of great change, when the old order was being challenged by waves of new immigrants, when women were asserting their right to be heard, when the ideal of the American Dream was being tested. Wright's book is a unique and powerful portrait of a generation of young Americans forging their own identity in the face of great challenges.; 8vo .
