false <![CDATA[The Essays of Leonard Michaels]]> 6135372 1 NONFICTION FROM “ONE OF THE STRONGEST AND MOST ARRESTING PROSE TALENTS OF HIS GENERATION” (LARRY MCMURTRY) Leonard Michaels was a writer of unfailing emotional honesty. His memoirs, originally scattered through his story collections, are among the most thrilling evocations of growing up in the New York of the 1950s and ’60s—and of continuing to grow up, in the cultural turmoil of the ’70s and ’80s, as a writer, teacher, lover, and reader. The same honesty and excitement shine in Michaels’s highly personal commentaries on culture and art. Whether he’s asking what makes a story, reviewing the history of the word “relationship,” or reflecting on sex in the movies, he is funny, penetrating, surprising, always alive on the page. The Essays of Leonard Michaels is the definitive collection of his nonfiction and shows, yet again, why Michaels was singled out for praise by fellow writers as diverse as Susan Sontag, Larry McMurtry, William Styron, and Charles Baxter. Beyond autobiography or criticism, it is the record of a sensibility and of a style that is unmatched in American letters. 6313956 23 6 2009 The Essays of Leonard Michaels total:9|5:5|4:3|3:1|2:0|1:0| 9 40 25 2 0 0 false false Thu Aug 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 18:50:15 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 18:08:16 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Jan 19 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri May 01 17:13:21 -0700 2009 Fri May 01 17:14:17 -0700 2009 http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA...]]> 0 0 false false Fri Nov 13 20:55:01 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 20:55:01 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 04 21:44:19 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 21:44:19 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 03 15:05:38 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 15:27:15 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 31 13:49:54 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 13:49:54 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 09 15:50:53 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 09 15:50:53 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 08 15:27:05 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 08 15:27:05 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Oct 06 15:29:29 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 15:29:29 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 30 14:38:56 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 30 14:38:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 11 12:46:12 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 11 12:46:12 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Aug 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 18 07:43:54 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 16:26:04 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 16 05:59:56 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 16 05:59:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 11 15:45:32 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 11 15:45:32 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 07 07:18:17 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 07:18:17 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 27 10:24:30 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 27 10:24:30 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Jul 24 18:59:34 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 15 19:15:13 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 24 18:59:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jul 14 20:39:47 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 14 20:39:47 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 09 19:23:28 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 09 19:23:28 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jul 09 09:21:30 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 07:52:53 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6135372
