<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Beard writes with perfect pitch as she takes readers through one woman's life--from childhood to marriage and beyond--to memorably capture the collision of youthful longing and the hard realities of time and fate.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The utterly compelling, uncommonly beautiful collection of personal essays (<i>Newsweek</i>) that established Jo Ann Beard as one of the leading writers of her generation. </b> <p/>Cousins, mothers, sisters, dolls, dogs, best friends: these are the fixed points in Jo Ann Beard's universe, the constants that remain when the boys of her youth -- and then men who replace them -- are gone. This widely praised collection of autobiographical essays summons back, with astonishing grace and power, moments of childhood epiphany as well as the cataclysms of adult life: betrayal, divorce, death. <i><br></i><i>The Boys of My Youth</i> heralded the arrival of an immensely gifted and influential writer and its essays remain surprising, original, and affecting today. <br><b>A luminous, funny, heartbreaking book of essays about life and its defining moments. --<i>Harper's Bazaar </i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Beard remembers (or imagines) her childhood self with an uncanny lucidity that startles.--<b>Laura Miller</b>, <i><b>New York Times Book Review</b></i><br><br>Extraordinary...Beard is writing not with the romanticism of a girl looking up at the stars, but with the brilliant cold light of the stars looking down on us.--<b>Ted Anton</b>, <i><b>Chicago Tribune</b></i><br><br>Smart, funny, and moving...A gifted and gutsy writer...This is what a first collection of stories should be.--<b>Barbara Fisher</b>, <i><b>Boston Globe</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jo Ann Beard is also the author of the novel <i>In Zanesville</i>. Her work has appeared in <i>The New Yorker</i>, <i>Tin House</i>, and <i>Best American Essays</i>. She has received a Whiting Award and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the New York Foundation for the Arts.
