| Abstract
|
:
|
First published in 1967, this book was recognized as a masterpiece of modern American autobiography, a brilliant portrayal of one boy's passage from childhood to adolescence and beyond. This book presents a tale of life on the road, of odd jobs and lost friendships, brutal schools and first loves, of a father's early death and a son's exhilarating escape into manhood.--Publisher's description.
