An Open Book is the exuberant, beautifully written story of how comics and adventure stories, poetry and Proust can change your life. Hailed by Morris Dickstein as ``a glowing tribute to the world of books and the life of the mind,'' An Open Book communicates--as Eudora Welty's One Writer's Beginnings once did--the thrill of great reading to a new generation. In its pages, literary journalist Michael Dirda re-creates his boyhood in Ohio, recalling his colorful family, friends, and teachers as he celebrates the great writers and fictional characters who fueled his imagination.
