Review: WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR AUTOBIOGRAPHY

"A wondrous book, funny, sad, and strong. . . [with scenes] as funny and touching as Mark Twain's."--Mary Lee Settle, Los Angeles Times Book Review

"Baker has accomplished the memoirists's task: to find shape and meaning in his own life, and to make it interesting and pertinent to the reader. In lovely, haunting prose, he has told a story that is deeply in the American grain."--Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World
