Synopsis
If "memoirabilia" were a word, it would perfectly describe O the Clear Moment . In this enormously appealing "implied autobiography," Ed McClanahan has assembled a gathering of stories that are both quirky and cutting, all told in the inimitable voice of one of his generation's best Southern chroniclers of American life. McClanahan launches his tale in 1950, the year he turned 17 and had his "Personal Best Great Moment" -- one that involved Lucky Strikes, a Tony Curtis forelock, a pretty girl named Bernice, and several raw eggs. From there, McClanahan is off and running, describing characters from his eventful life with affectionate and precise detail. Like "escapees from the cover of the Saturday Evening Post ," McClanahan and his stories come alive as American souvenirs, enchanting readers with his signature prose., In this enormously appealing "implied autobiography," Merry Prankster Ed McClanahan has assembled a gathering of what he calls "coming-of-age to coming-of-old-age" stories that are both quirky and cutting, hilarious and lyrical, all told in the inimitable voice of one of his generation's best southern chroniclers of American life. The tale begins in 1950, the year he turned 17 and, from there, McClanahan is off and running, describing characters from his eventful life with affectionate and precise detail. There's the summer he spends on a road crew in Yosemite National Park, striving (with ever-decreasing degrees of success) to be faithful to his college sweetheart back home. There's the McClanavan--the '68 VW Microbus that took McClanahan and his new bride on a 14,000-mile trek in search of honky-tonks. There's the 1969 "peace" demonstration at Stanford University that was less a revolution than a traffic jam. McClanahan and his stories come alive as American souvenirs, enchanting readers with his signature prose in this stunning piece of "memoirabilia.", In this enormously appealing implied autobiography', Ed McClanahan has assembled a gathering of stories that are both quirky and cutting, all told in the inimitably Southern voice that made him one of his generation's best chroniclers of American life. McClanahan launches his tale in 1950, the year he turned 17 and had his 'Personal Best Great Moment' - one that involved Lucky Strikes, a Tony Curtis forelock, a pretty girl named Bernice and several raw eggs. From there, McClanahan is off and running.'

- t***l (163)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufItem arrived in exactly the condition I remembered it from working in the Kentucky Room (1987-2014). It was as described or actually better. Shipping was very fair and very fast as was lucky enough for the Lexington post office to not send it three states away as so often happens these days. The book was packaged perfectly, safe yet easy to open. The book was an excellent value, glad to have it yet I also have mixed feelings about being able to have it along with the other Madison Cawein books.
