Publisher's note

A witty and affectionate look at teenage survival in the Midwest from popular humorist Jean Shepherd.

With hilarious precision, Jean Shepherd remembers teenage survival in the Midwest: the almighty sacrifice of the Easter ham, taffy apple binges at the state fair, the gut-wrenching playground antics of Delbert Bumpus, the temptation of Josephine Cosnowski's stuffed cabbage, "the soft haze of approaching dawn" surrounding the unapproachable Daphne Bigelow, and the sweaty glow of Wanda Hickey at the Junior Prom. These are some of the archetypal legends of childhood that Shepherd evokes from his nostalgic Indiana muse. A universal orchestration of Midwestern life and puberty rites, "Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories" is the sweet cacophonous roar of youth tempered with the wit and enduring honesty of a grown boy.

Annotation

Teenage survival in the Midwest, by the author of "Please Don't Eat the Daisies."
