Expand description
"The Last Happy Occasion is a beautifully wrought account of childhood's end, affectionate. honest, often very funny, Alan Shapiro's memoir is strongest where most memoirs are weakest, in its portrayal of adulthood not as the sorry end of innocence but as awakening -- coming truly alive through family, knowledge, and vocation". -- Tobias Wolff
