Publisher's note

In a deeply personal memoir filled with humor, encouragement, and hard-won wisdom about the teacher's craft, the distinguished critic and author furnishes valuable insights into the many challenges educators face, as well as a discussion of such topics as politics in the classroom, the importance of a disciplined approach to life, fostering relationships with students, and balancing one's teaching load with research and writing.

Annotation

Jay Parini has been a writer for many years, but he has also been a teacher, and in this memoir he writes about how he has managed to balance his two professions, not to mention living a life that includes family and friends. He stresses the performance aspect of teaching as well as the joy he has found in contributing to his students' intellectual development, and writes insightfully about the strange disjunction between being a creative writer and an academic.
