Summary

As millions of radio listeners already know, no one has had a life quite like storyteller Daniel Pinkwater. In this comical collection of memories, Pinkwater tells of how he grew into the beloved figure he is today: a robust genius of the printed page and rotund genie of the radio. He shares a conversation with his father about art school that changed the course of his career, describes his inauguration as a sculptor in a sleazy Chicago art factory, and recounts setting off for a bright center of the American art scene— or at least as close as Hoboken, New Jersey. Finally, we hear as Pinkwater pictures his first true audience, children. Chicago Days / Hoboken Nights is a memoir about how a visual artist turned to writing, only to be hailed as a "comic master" by the Washington Post Book World.
