From TCU Press

“…this moving, big-hearted memoir brings a big chunk of our latter-day American history to brilliant life. Do yourself a favor and read this book. 

-- Ben Fountain, author of Billy Lynn’s Long Half Time Walk (finalist for the  National Book Award)

A wonderfully rich, humane and inhabitable literary memoir. Mitchell's journalistic eye turned inward brings a special clarity and emotional precision to a keenly intelligent life in interesting times among the famous and the appalling on both coasts. I can't imagine a more engrossingly intimate course in American post-war cultural history.

 --David Searcy, author of Shame and Wonder
