In this comical collection of memories, storyteller Daniel Pinkwater tells how he grew into the beloved figure he is today: a robust genius of the printed page and a rotund genie of the radio. In inimitable fashion, Pinkwater recounts the conversation with his father that suddenly made him an art major in college. He describes his inauguration as a sculptor in a sleazy Chicago art factory and recalls setting off for the bright center of the American art scene...or at least as close as Hoboken, New Jersey. As millions of radio listeners already know, no one has had a life quite like Daniel Pinkwater's.
