Hanging
On Or How to Get Through a Depression and Enjoy Life Edmund G. Love |
Edmund G. Love captures the unusual experiences, adventures, and struggles that characterized his life during an unparalleled period of American history. If the thirties were the heyday of the fraternity party, the strapless evening gown, and the bootlegger, they were also, for Love, ten years when the extravagamce of getting an education alternated with the grim realties of keeping body and soul together. This often meant shoveling coal at his father's lumberyard or finding a job in an automobile factory to earn a dollar for the next meal—or a hundred dollars for the next semester's tuition. Whether in Ann Arbor, at the University of Michigan, or back home in Flint, Ed Love records his varied and charmed life with the piquancy and humor which are his trademarks. |
"An unaffected all-American story, one whose humor—and Love has plenty of it—goes hand-in-hand with empty pockets, youthful escapades, and all the crises of being young while going through Hard Times."—Publishers Weekly | |||||||||||||
