Well, lots of your favorite writers do too, and they share the good, the bad, and the embarrassingly ugly in this wonderful compendium of personal reminiscences about prom night. In THE TIME OF MY LIFE, Sam Lipsyte, Cintra Wilson, Walter Kirn, Steve Almond, and more than a dozen others re-create the whole range of experiences--from the often-embarrassing quest to find a date to transforming the gym into a crepe paper paradise, to slow dancing to the "Dirty Dancing" theme song. Whether prom night is something you fondly remember or long to forget, THE TIME OF MY LIFE will bring it all back, capturing with wit and poignancy precisely what it was like to be young, hormonal, and dressed like a butler or bridesmaid. |
