[He is] an exuberant chronicler of the mythos of American life\"; the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e described him as \"absolutely unique among American writers.\" In these ten essays, Charyn shares personal stories about places steeped in history and myth, including his beloved New York, and larger-than-life personalities from the Bible and from the worlds of film, literature, politics, sports, and the author's own family. Together, writes Charyn, these essays create \"my own lyrical autobiography. Several of the selections are about other writers, some celebrated, some forgotten. . . .
