Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories and Other Disasters
Author: Jean Shepherd

A bestselling classic of humorous and nostalgic Americana, reissued in a strikingly designed trade paperback edition. — Before Garrison Keillor and Spalding Gray there was Jean Shepherd: a master monologist and writer who spun the materials of his all-American childhood into immensely resonant--and utterly hilarious--works of comic art. — Wanda... more » Hickey's Night of Golden Memories is a universal (and achingly funny) orchestration of Midwestern puberty rites, from the gut-wrenching playground antics of one Delbert Bumpus, to the supernal glow surrounding unapproachable high school beauty Daphne Bigelow, to the memorable disaster that was Shepherd's (and everyone else's) junior prom.

A comic genius who bridges the gap between James Thurber and David Sedaris, Shepherd may have accomplished for Holden, Indiana, what Mark Twain did for Hannibal, Missouri.

This book is just fantastic! I loved reading it and hated to see it end. If you have seen "A Christmas Story" you will get even more enjoyment out of it. A definite keeper.

Mr. Shepherd has written a book filled with small-town memories. An easy read, since you can read a "story" at a time. I laughed out loud while reading the one about the fair - been there, done that. The characters are just great and REAL. I highly recommend this.
