Growing Up and Getting Old Behind the Wheel: An American Auto Biography
ISBN: 9781475225525 / Angielski / Miękka / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cover Art by Abby & Lily Klemmer. Witty and softly sardonic, William Schiff's autobiographical romp describes the author's travels through America and beyond in cars he rode in, bought, modified, and stole. It is peppered with allusions to the films, literature, music, politics, and current events of America, from 1940 - 2010. It describes his incarceration, and ultimate redemption through America's Universities, rather than it's churches, and his life as criminal, student, university professor, behavioral scientist, husband, father, and retiree.
