"Reynolds Price is a local, teaching writing at Duke for 50 years. I've had the chance to hear him speak at local events. This is his third volume of memoirs, focusing on a period of six years - including three years at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. Fascinating to realize that some of his works I've enjoyed were created while he was a student in this challenging program. "A Long and Happy Life," a novel; and one of my favorite short stories "The Warrior Princess Ozimba.""
"You should definitely read this book if you have ever had the desire to haul off to Europe for a few years in your twenties before returning to Sweet Carolina :)"
"A lot to like--queer North Carolinian in Oxford in the mid-'50s. Mostly about figuring out about work and career, also a little about figuring out about sexuality. I liked reading about his friendships and inner life, and I suppose I haven't read much memoir or maybe any because it was interesting to learn that a factual book in which nothing happens is different from a fictional book in which nothing happens. But nice in its own way."
