Description

Memoir.Autobiography. Twenty years old--and with a summer of working on oceangoing merchant ships under my belt--already a dropout, I headed with a friend to a tar-paper shack in country north of the town where our college was located--this was in central New York state--where we intended to go Thoreau. Thus begins Michael Gregory Stephens' account of his brief foray out of the world of commerce and corner stores and into a rugged and chilly Walden. This deftly-written memoir gives Stephens, author of more than 15 books including GREEN DREAMS: ESSAYS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE IRISH, winner of the Associated Writing Programs Award in Creative Nonfiction, the opportunity not only to reminisce about his post-college days, but also to ruminate on the impulses that initially led him to the ill-fated tar-paper shack, and the possibilities for going Thoreau even in a setting as urban as New York City. Perfectbound chapbook.
