<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A bestselling classic of humorous and nostalgic Americana and the basis of the movie <i>A Christmas Story.</i></b> <p/>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. <p/><i>Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories</i> 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. <p/>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Shepherd has a fine eye for absurdity, for the madness and idiocy in all of us." --<i>Best Sellers</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>For many years a cult radio and cabaret personality in New York City, Jean Shepherd was the creator of the popular film <i>A Christmas Story, </i> which is based in part on this book and has become a holiday tradition on the Turner Network. He died in October 1999 near his home on Sanibel Island, Florida.
