Coming Of Age: The Story Of Our Century By Those Who've Lived It

The Story

Pulitzer Prize winner Studs Terkel presents an extraordinary documentary of the 20th century, captured with a haunting voice and cadence that only he could achieve. Wise, contemplative, and wondrous, Coming of Age is Terkel in high form--compassionate, generous, always insightful--'(a) kind of national prose poem, a chorus of cacophonous voices offering a jagged, emotionally charged portrait of our times' (San Francisco Chronicle Book Review).
