by Saul Schachter
When I was growing up, I wanted to be a journalist. My first published essay was in The New York Times and from there I went on to write other essays for many other newspapers. Overall, 138 pieces have appeared in newspapers and magazines and occasionally in a new outlet: on-line. Now, I've gathered these essays together for this book. Not all are included here, but my favorites are. I hope you enjoy them! |
