Memory of Old Jack - Softcover
A burnished day in September 1952 provides the framework for a narrative that movingly distills the lifetime of an uncommonly admirable if very human being. A new corrected edition. ''The Memory of Old Jack is a slab of rich Americana, eloquent testimony that `it's not a tragedy when a man dies at the end of his life.'' -The New York Times Book Review ''The account of Jack's courtship of his wife is a beautiful piece of writing..and worthy of a place among the best pieces of prose written by American writers of this century.''-Library Journal.
