"A memoir of uncommon grace and self-deprecating charm" (
Newsday
) that recounts the moral (and sometimes immoral) education of a writer, friend, husband, and father--from the acclaimed author of
The Duke of Deception.
In this essay collection, Geoffrey Wolff shows us his wildly dysfunctional childhood Christmases--presided over by his con-man father--then shifts to his brash, short-lived teaching career in Istanbul. With dazzling literary agility, Wolff guides us through the surprising, invaluable turns that shaped his path: his victory over the chaos of drink, his open-heart surgery, his life-affirming surrender to the slopes of the Matterhorn, and his transcendent love of family. Long considered a classic, now expanded and back in print after two decades,
A Day at the Beach
shares Wolff's spirited, elegant, and deeply felt observations on an extraordinary life.
