Praise for "A Story Teller's Story"---
"The American "Portrait of the Artist,""
-Charles Baxter
"Probably unequaled . . . for the austerity of moral courage and sincerity of
conviction. . . . A book which should be read by every intelligent American."
-"New York Times"
"In the field of literary autobiography, it stands practically alone in America."
-"The Nation"
"The voice of the soliloquist . . . amplifies the drama of A Story Teller's Story, as does the persistent theme of escape, from an America of fact and factories, marketing and manufacturing, to the borderless Ohios of imagination and creation."
-From the introduction by Thomas Lynch
