- Summary:
- This personal memoir of mid-century American life examines the upbringing of an upper-middle class child amongst the prosperity and conformity of Rochester, New York. The volume explores the boom of the post-war years, and juxtaposes the surface tranquility of this world with underlying tensions of war, racism and political change at work behind the scenes. Decker is a professor of English at Oklahoma State University. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
