A pleasure for any serious reader
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I admit that this book was assigned to me in a college writing class. However, once I drunk in the words of these essays, I was challenged by Sanders to create essays of my own. The essays move outward, moving from himself and the family that is part of his life to the world that is a part of. Not only does it challenge any writer to reach the honesty that Sanders does, but this book also draws the every day Jane or Jon Doe to think about their own life and to be honest about it. A definate keeper!
