1974 - A Personal History

"In this remarkable memoir, the qualities that have long distinguished Francine Prose''s fiction and criticism--uncompromising intelligence, a gratifying aversion to sentiment, the citrus bite of irony--give rigor and, finally, an unexpected poignancy to an emotional, artistic, and political coming-of-age tale set in the 1970s--the decade, as she memorably puts it, when American youth realized that the changes that seemed possible in the 60s weren''t going to happen. A fascinating and ultimately wrenching book." -- Daniel Mendelsohn, author of The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million
